Camron,I can't agree with you on this one.
1)Casebook play 10.4.4.SitA clearly defines a fight during a live ball.It actually uses the specific language "fight".
2)The ruling states that the original participants are charged with double flagrant personal fouls.Again,they are very specific that the fouls charged are personal and not technical.
3)Case book plays,as you know,are officially rules.This is stressed in the preamble at the front of the casebook.The exact wording is "The interpretations and rulings for all situations have been approved by the rules committee and are official".
I do,however,agree(and already have) that you can certainly call technical fouls in this exact same sitch,according to the language elsewhere in the rule and case books.I guess that's why this is an interesting thread,even on it's second go-around.
JMO.
