I'm guessing this is to stick with the philosophy of "administer the penalties for fouls in the order in which they occur."

So, let's assume this is the first of a two-shot free-throw. If the ball is not yet released, do we clear the lane so that the throw will be "unhindered?" How do we explain that to Coach B?


You'd clear the lane for both FT's - because posession is automatically going to change at the end of the series (b/c of the foul) so you won't need any rebounding opportunities.

What about after the bonus is in effect, how do we handle a foul by A2? Clear the lane, A1 finishes his/her free-throws, then change ends, B shoots, and go from there?


Yup. A2's foul shouldn't be ignored just because A1 is at the line.
