However, the ruling says: "No free throws are awarded for the simultaneous technical fouls as the number of bench personnel leaving the bench and the penalties are the same for both teams."
Sigh.

First, offset the number leaving the bench who don't fight. 2 for A is more than 1 for B, so A gets a penalty (one penalty only, here -- even if it was 10 for A and 1 for B, it's only one penalty)

Then, offset the number leaving and fighting. 0 for A, 1 for B == 1 penalty for B (here, it's one per difference -- if it was zero for A and 10 for B, it would be 10 penalties).

Do the same for Players fighting, and coaches leaving.

Then, offset the penalties across the categories.

1 penalty for A, 1 penalty for B == no FTs. (in the parenthetical example, it would be 1 penalty for A, 10 penalties for B == 18 FTs for A)
