Dead Ball Contact Has To Be A Technical Foul ...

Since it's dead ball contact, then the foul has to be technical. Dead ball contact fouls must be either intentional, or flagrant. If A4 was ejected, then it was a flagrant technical. If A4 wasn't ejected, i.e., was left in the game as a player, sat on the bench as an eligible substitute, or was simply disqualified for his fifth foul, then it was an intentional technical.

The reference to a personal foul in your post is incorrect, as is the fact that Team A inbounded the ball after the foul shots. Also, the double bonus is irrelevant here. Did rebounders line up along the lane lines during the two free throws? If so, either the officials really kicked this situation, or you are not describing it correctly.

Oh. I almost forgot. Welcome to the jungle ... I mean, to the Forum.
