Hartsy,

I'd have to see the play to know if that would be a flagrant foul or an intentional foul. Judgment required.

You say that it occurred "as the ball was handed to A1." You have to determine if it happened before it was handed to A1 or after. It cannot be "as." If it happened before, then you have a technical foul because the ball is dead. If it happened after, then you have a live ball.

Regardless of whether you call a dead ball technical flagrant, a dead ball technical intentional or merely a live ball intentional foul, you will shoot two free throws.

If it was a technical flagrant, the player is ejected to the bench. After the free throws for a technical foul are shot, the ball will be awarded to team A for a throw-in at midcourt, opposite the table. A technical intentional would be exactly the same except that the player would not be ejected.

If you determine that it was a non-technical flagrant foul, the player is ejected to the bench. After the free throws, the ball will be awarded to team A for a throw-in at the spot nearest where the foul occurred.

I would imagine that many fans knew that you and your partner did not adminster the situation properly. Live and learn.
