Is there enough dead ball time here to make any personal foul technical (by the rule not considering our game management practices which make a tech here unlikely)? I'm talking basketball fouls here not A5 telling you "your mother wears army boots".

Sure...but again, use some common sense...

Lemme just expand on this one a little.Take a look at the definition of a personal foul- R4-19-1NOTE-"Contact after the ball has become dead is ignored unless it is ruled intentional or flagrant...". Then look at part of the definition of an intentional foul in R4-19-3--"an intentional foul is a personal or technical foul designed to stop or keep the clock from starting,to neutralize an opponent's obvious position,contact away from the ball or when not playing the ball.It may or may not be premeditated and is not based on the severity of the act".

That should tell you how to handle this type of call.Ignore it,unless you are SURE that the foul was committed to give a team an advantage.If you think that's happening,then call it an intentional personal foul.

Sound reasonable?I think that Rocky had good answers for the rest of your questions,too. JMODO!
