On what basis would you have a Tech? It is a live ball, contact foul. Does not meet the definition of a T. Common foul an B1.

On the basis of unsporting act and advantage gained. I had a similar play in a game recently. A1 dribling B1 is getting burned, B2 shoves B1 in front of and into A1. This is gaining an advantage similar to using a teammate to jump higher. I have no problem with the T on B2. It serves the best solution. A gets to have their best free throw shooter on the line. The proper player gets charged with the foul... It is certainly ugly, but I think it is the right thing to do. IMHO
