lets say this is the situation.
team A is down by 3 with 2 sec. left in regulation. A throws the ball into the corner to A2 who attempts a 3 point shot. a player from team B runs off the bench(behind where A2 cannot see him) onto the court and cleanly blocks the shot after the horn sounds to end regulation.
1. what is a fair and just penalty for this situation?
2. is this situation directly covered by fed. or nc2a rules or case book plays?

Under FIFA rules - this is how I would handle it:
- Bench technical foul for a substitute illegally entering the game. 2 free throws plus possession.
- A disqualifying foul for the substitute that blocks the shot. Another 3 shots, plus possession (DQ foul on 3 point attempt = 3 shots). The justification - an unsportsmanlike act that brought the game into disrepute.
So Team A gets five free throws, which can be shot by any player currently on the court, if there is any time left on the clock, then Team A also gets the ball back at half court.
And, if Coach B even looks at me funny while making these calls - I'll toss them as well since he is making me do his job by not controlling his bench.
Would this scenario work for NFHS/NCAA?

Works for me!! If you're not going to forfeit the game, then five shots by anyone and the ball back seems like the best penalty. And DQ for the booger-nose that did it.
