Ah, gotcha. I crossed my wires on the goal the team was inbounding from. Apologies.

But yes, I think it would be handled the same as any other court interference with the team the fan interfered for being hit with the tech.

I've seen this happen many times and I've officiated in a couple of games in which this happened. If it's a random spectator, game is stopped and the spectator is escorted out of the building. The ball is then inbounded from the next appropriate location depending upon where the ball/player was when play was stopped. That's it. Based on the OP's description, that's what would happen.

The point was then made that "how would you know its a fan for that team"? Especially in a rival game (like this game was)...people at weekday HS basketball games are in all type of clothes, team colors and not.
