Does anyone have a definitive answer as to which penalties can offset?
For example, A1 has the ball and is dribbling in the lane where he is fouled by B1. After the whistle, A1 and B1 face off nose to nose and exchange words, but don’t have any physical contact. B2 comes running from near the division line and forcefully shoves A1 with both forearms. A4 takes both hands and shoves B2 away from his teammate. A7 comes off his team bench and shoves B4. At this point the coaches come onto the court and remove their respective players.
At the time of the play Team A had committed six fouls in the half and Team B had committed eight.
Please list the fouls which you would assess and which FTs would be attempted and which would offset.

The ten players and the bench personnel are treated differently under the fighting rules. You don't offset a foul by a player with one by a sub/coach/trainer/etc.
1) Foul by B1 which will result in FTs
2) Double technical foul A1/B1 (could argue flagrant since it led to everything else)
3) Double flagrant technical foul A4/B2
4) Flagrant technical foul A7 (and one indirect on the A coach)
A1 (or his sub) shoots the FTs for (1) and any B player shoots the FTs for (4). B gets the ball at the division line. A coach is seatbelted. After all is said and done B has 11 fouls and A has 9.
