The NOTE from 4-19-1 reads "Contact after the ball has become dead is ignored unless it is ruled intentional or flagrant or is committed by or on an airborne shooter".

If you have a double technicals for contact fouls by opponents on each other after the ball is dead on a made basket, your two choices then would be a double intentional technical foul or a double flagrant technical foul. Make sense?

Still a moot point anyway, as long as you rule them a double technical foul or a double intentional technical foul, and also do the same for flagrant acts. The penalties are the same, so it's basically just semantics.
Hmmm, plenty to think about here. For the first time, the notion of an intentional technical makes sense in HS rules to me now.

As for the two guys 20 feet from the ball going at it, I'm not sure I can see calling this a double intentional. How would this be different than two donkies going at it in the post. That's away from the ball too. Yet despite the definition of intentional foul, I think I can say that this would be universally called either a personal foul on one of the players, or a regular double foul on both.

Not that this negates your point, of course. Just saying
