Is "ball to opponent" interpreted as contact? I would think so.
Unsporting? Probably not because it must be noncontact.
Technical? Probably not because it must be noncontact, and if deemed flagrant, or intentional, the ball must be dead.
It probably comes down to how one defines contact. Must it be player to player contact, or can it be ball to player contact?
Based on how one defines contact determines whether one should charge a personal foul, or a technical foul.

The ball to person contact question is easy to answer Billy.
What type of foul would you charge if a player deliberately threw the ball into his opponent's chest?
