1. Double flagrant foul on A1 and B1, both disqualified, no FTs. One team foul for each side. (Personal or Technical determined by whether the action took place during a live or dead ball.)

2. Two from Team A leave and fight, Three from Team B leave and fight: each receives a flagrant technical foul and is disqualified. Two team fouls against Team A, three against Team B. Head Coach for Team A receives two indirects. Head Coach for Team B receives three indirects and is DQ'd. Team A would be due two FTs as Team B had one extra fighter.

3. Two members from Team A left the bench, but did not become involved. Each receives a flagrant technical foul and is disqualified. Two team fouls against Team A. Head Coach for Team A receives one indirect T for the actions of these two team members, when combined with the two indirects received in section 2 this gives him three and equals a disqualification. Team B would be due only two FTs as neither team member from Team A was a fighter.

4. Cancel the 2FTs for Team A from part 2 with the 2FTs for Team B from part 3 and resume at the POI, per Case Book rulings listed under 10.4.5.

Thanks Nevada. I have no intention of having the FT cancel out in this explanation, I was just making up numbers as I went. It's pretty coincidental that the FTs did cancel out in the end. Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it.
