No free throws result from the double flagrant foul by A1 and B1 or from the simultaneous technical fouls by A6 and B6. Each head coach is charged with one indirect technical foul. Play resumes at the point of interuption. (4-36;10-3-9)
Why is one sub B6 allowed to fight with no penalty -- while sub A6 does not fight and gets the same punishment as if he had participated in the fight?

Metaphorically and psychologically - When viewing a mountain from the bottom it is a long way up there, yet when viewing the same mountain from the top it is a long way down there. Is A6 getting the same punishment as B6 or is B6 getting the same punishment as A6? Maybe A6 is getting the more sever punishment as opposed to B6 getting the lighter punishment. It all depends on your frame of reference.
