That is an interesting question, because if it were the 4th quarter, and there was a difference in the score close enough where the free throws would matter (anything between a 2-point visitor lead to a tie game), the free throws would be shot as part of the 4th quarter. Since it is the 2nd quarter, there is no legal resumption of play for the player control foul possible in the 2nd quarter. However, as the officials were still on the court reporting the foul, the penalty for the technical foul can and will be assessed. Since intermission had not yet started when the technical foul was committed, the offender was not bench personnel, and so the coach will not be required to sit. By rule, I would start the clock for the intermission, shoot the free throws during the intermission, set the arrow the correct way, and award the ball to B to start the 3rd quarter, regardless of the arrow, because of the technical foul penalty.
