If he called a personal, it was incorrect since it was during a dead ball. If he called a technical, it was incorrect because it was neither flagrant nor intentional.
Double foul or technical?
We judge the time lapse between the two acts:
  • very short time (pure judgement) ---> Double foul
  • a little longer than a very short time (pure judgement) ---> Technical foul

    Either way the offensive player should be punished if the contact was, in fact, sufficient.

  • It sounds to me like the second foul was in retaliation for the first foul. Does that figure into your judgement at all?

    Sounds like that to me also, Back In The Saddle.
    B hacks A; A pushes B

    " Player A1 is dribbling down the court. B1 tries to reach over and swat the ball. He misses and fouls. A1 pushes B1 down just after the initial contact...."

    If B hacks A, and A reflexively pushes B back, ---> double personal foul.
    If B hacks A, and A thinks/pauses and then pushes B back ---> personal on B, technical on A
    Sometimes, if B hacks A, and A steps toward, and makes a little contact on, B ---> "Take it easy fellas."
