Don't have my books with me, so this is from the hip.
I know for a fact if A1 taunts B1, and then B1 punches A1, BOTH players are ejected, because A1's action caused B1 to throw the punch. This is in the handy-dandy "illustrated" rule book the NFHS has. Maybe some of the big wigs here can tell me if this also relates to a pushing foul by A1. If A1's push "caused" B1 to retaliate and punch, A1 should also be tossed, IMHO.
