Your first mistake was not calling a common foul on B1. Your second mistake was charging a Head Coach A with a technical foul because you deliberately not called a foul on B1 when he committed a foul.
Remember the definition of incidental contact in both NFHS and NCAA. B1's contact was not incidental. The fact that you gave the ball back to Team A is no justification for not calling the foul on B1. Call the foul and you would not had Coach A chirp at you. Why call a technical on him when by your own admission he was angry or accusing (just out of the coaching box), which is a legitimate technical in and of itself.

Mark, with all due respect: PLEASE!!
Your first mistake was not reading the post. He banged coach B, not A. From there it gets worse. B1's contact, though none of us saw it for ourselves, sounds incidental to me. He hit A on the wrist which was in contact with the ball and the hand is part of the ball. If a player blocks a shot cleanly and contacts the shooters fingers do you call that a foul? I hope not. Your sentence "Why call a technical on him when by your own admission he was angry or accusing (just out of the coaching box), which is a legitimate technical in and of itself." is a massacre of English grammar and makes no sense.
Chuck, to me it sounds a little quick on the trigger, but none of us know the events leading up to this point. However, if he was at the table when he says this, he is out of his coaching box and this would warrant a technical. I usually try to warn them before giving this one.
