JV game, huh?
Well, if I am the lead, I call only the contact foul, which is either a common foul (illegal screen), an intentional personal foul, or a flagrant personal foul. It would depend on how severe I thought the contact/action was.
Given your description, I most likely call an intentional personal foul.
Now by rule, it seems that the play is a simultaneous foul. Even though one is technical and the other is personal. The kid who ran out of bounds gets a T for unauthorized leaving of the court and the kid who clothes-lined him gets the personal foul. I think this is a gap in the rules, too. 4-19-9 seems to only address the cases where both fouls are personal or both fouls are technical.
So if we straight by the book, a foul on each and no free throws, and the ball could be put in play by the AP arrow at either the endline or division line. I can't tell which place to do the throw-in since one foul was technical and the other was not.
I don't think this play is too far fetched, but I do think the ruling is very strange. Great question!
PS What if we have a foul occur by team A on the court and at the same time the coach of team B is screaming at the officials and is assessed a technical foul? Let's say that each foul is whistled simultaneously by different officials?
