Calling this a personal foul when its something done to your won teammate sounds weird.

I did find this:

10. It will be illegal for a defensive player to jump or stand on any player, or be picked up by a teammate or to use a hand or hands on a teammate to gain additional height in an attempt to block a kick (Penalty: 15 yards, unsportsmanlike conduct).

So maybe it was just incorrect terminology - should be unsportsman like, not a pers foul?
