The double fouls by A1 and B1 are definitely flagrant but they are not necessarily a technical. If A1 and B1 trade punches while the ball is live, the fouls are personal. If the ball is dead, then the fouls are technical.

10-3-10 says that figthing is a technical foul. It doesn't say anything about the ball having to be dead in order for it to be a technical, and not personal. I realize that 10.4.4a describes flagrant personals but when there's a conflict with the RB and the CB, I'll go with the RB.
If two players swing at each other during a live ball but don't connect, are you going to call personal fouls? You can't have a personal foul without contact. The act of fighting is a T.
Therefore, anytime I have a fight, technical fouls will be assessed, not personals.
