The situation that you described is a false double foul. The foul by A1 (intentional personal foul) against B2 was the first foul and the technical foul be B2 was the second foul.

A double personal foul is when two opponents commit pesonal fouls against each other at approximately the same time.

A double personal foul is when two opponents commit technical fouls against each other at approximately the same time.

In both double foul situations no free throw are shot the and the alternation possesion arrow is used to determine who gets the ball for the throw in. This is the application under NFHS (high school rules). Under NCAA (college rules) it is slightly more complicated and I will not address them.

A false double foul is a situation in which there are fouls by both teams, the second which occurs before the clock is started following the first, and at least one of the attributes of a double foul is absent.

So you can see, your situation is a false double foul. When a false double foul occurs, the penalties for all of the fouls are carried out and the ball is put into play as if the last foul of the double foul was the only foul that occured.

Therefore, B2 should have shoot two free throws for the intentional personal foul by A1, then anybody from Team A would have shot two free throws for the technical foul by A1 and then Team A would have made a throw in at the division line opposite the scorer's table. In my opinion A1 should have been ejected for using the "f-word" in which case his substitute would have shot the free throws for the intentional personal foul.
