Draymond's shove should've been a flagrant/common foul, not tech according to the rules. (alien.top)

An official may assess a technical foul, without prior warning, at any time. A technical foul(s) may be assessed to any player on the court or anyone seated on the bench for conduct which, in the opinion of an official, is detrimental to the game. The technical foul must be charged to an individual. A technical foul cannot be assessed for physical contact when the ball is alive.

So as the ball was live when Draymond's shove happened (https://imgur.com/a/sbkQB1K), why did they assess the T for it retroactively? Flagrant or common foul if they did not think the contact was enough for flagrant imo.

Truly a Ben Taylor special.

A technical foul cannot be assessed for physical contact when the ball is alive.

Doesn't this just mean that they have to stop the play, before they assess if it should be a tecnichal or not?

Like, they cant just give a tecnichal for physical contact during a live play, they have to stop the play and determine the correct "punishment" first. Which they did, and then assessed after video review that it should be a tecnichal.
