Nother flagrant or really intentional. Just a push to seperate them a bit. I was already blowing the whistle on the first contact. B1 goes to the ground as a result of the push and appeared hurt, so I had to call a false double.
This is when B1's dad came on the court and demanded that we "do something". I did. B1's dad was removed from the court. There was under 1 minute left in the game and A team had a good lead, so I just had the security officer escort off of the playing area.

Well, sadly you botched the call. Contact after the ball is dead is ignored if it isn't intentional or flagrant. So you should have only called the first foul. However, if you feel the push warrants a foul, the proper way to go is with an intentional technical foul. In that case you would have a false double foul.
Or you could make it simple and do what Tony suggested, call a double personal foul since the opponents committed fouls at approximately the same time.
Thumbs up on tossing the dad out, though!
