By rule, both players are ejected and we did not shoot any freethrows but what do you do with the ball? After this gets kicked around here, I'll pass along what we did.

By rule, you were wrong.
If you ejected both players, you
have to call it the following way:
1) Flagrant personal foul on A1 for the elbow. That foul call makes the ball dead.
-this is followed by -
2) A flagrant technical foul on B1 for the retaliation.
False double foul. Penalize the fouls in the order that they occurred. B1's sub shoots 2 FT's first. Then any A player(s) shoot the 2 technical FT's. The lanes are empty on all FT's. Team A gets the ball for a spot throw-in at center after the FT's for B1's flagrant technical foul.
It's a real stretch in situations like this if you called it a double fighting foul imo.
Btw, if B1 just shoved and didn't swing, then personally I'd just call a "T" on her instead of the flagrant "T". I kinda like to make sure the instigator is the one getting nailed in these situations, if I can.
