Under NFHS Rules, how do you administer play? I believe you assess technical fouls to A1 and B1, but award no free throws for the techs. Play resumes from POI which should be: two free throws for A1 who was fouled in the act of shooting with players lined up along the lane lines.
I have a bet going on with a partner who says play resumes as follows: A1 shoots two free throws with no one lined up along the lane. Ball is given to team A for inbounding after the free throws because they had "team control" of the ball when the technicals were called.
Thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

You are correct.
Your partner is incorrect because the POI is the point at which the ball became dead. In this case that is not the same as the exact moment of the foul. Since there was a try for goal in progress, continuous motion applies and the ball only becomes dead after the try has ended. If A1 had not started the shooting motion and a foul occurred, then your partner would be correct.
