If you call a violation, Team B in this case benefits from a violation. You would have to stop play to call a violation which for all you know was planned. The NF has two interpretations that suggest it is a Technical foul when a defensive team benefits from a violation. Now if you have some play that says this is just a violation then I will go along with it. That is clearly not what the NF is saying on their website.

You pull a case play talking about a last second tactic and then ignore this:
If time is not a factor,
the defense should be penalized with the violation or a technical foul for unsporting behavior.
There is nothing in the play in question that suggests an intentional unsporting act.
