I guess that part that feels hard to explain is that A fouls, but the lane is cleared for A to shoot. If B isn't shooting in the bonus (thus B gets no shots), it appears as though B is being penalized for A's foul. I know that's not true, but it looks bad. And I don't know very many people that understand clearing the lane can happen other than a technical. So this would be one of those situations where a clear explanation should be given when the calling official reports to the table. How's this?
"Coach A, Coach B, we penalize fouls in the order they occur. A gets his foul shots first, then B gets the ball out of bounds for A's push."
That's about as short as I can get it.
But I still think A should lose which ever shot it was.
