Just for future reference, what I think Junker was referring to is that the ejection/disqualification/forfeit doesn't occur until the fouls are officially reported, so you need to do that first, then deal with the consequences.
20/20 hindsight is wonderful, but this is probably how I would have handled it - others may disagree:
1. Don't go immediately to the table - it's too close to the benches & invited further discourse. I'd have told the coaches to go back to their bench, then while the smoke was clearing, waved my partner over to the jump circle area & briefly explained to him what you have.
2. Take a step or two towards the table, and from that position on the court report fouls in the order they occurred as follows:
Intentional foul on A31
Technical foul on A's HC
Technical foul on A's AC
2nd technical foul on A's AC
3. Now you go to the division line opposite the table and let your partner administer the penalties. You know they're pi$$ed at you, but if they're stupid enough to "shoot the messenger", it just makes them look worse.
4.Partner first informs A's HC that his AC is ejected for the 2 direct T's, then informs HC he is also ejected because of his one direct T plus the two indirects as result of AC's actions. Partner then asks A's HC if he has another qualified assistant on the bench. If not, he's told the game is forfeit. Then B's HC is informed of the forfeit.
5. The official book is then informed of the forfeit. Since B was ahead, the score remains as is - if A had been ahead, the final score would be recorded as 2-0 in favor of B. Because of the forfeit, no free throws are administered. Partner needs to make sure that everything is recorded in the book.
Forfeit or not, their disqualification requires that both coaches immediately leave the venue of the competition - if they don't, immediately notify game management and ask that security escort them from the building.
