The officials go to the monitor to look at the contact after the whistle.
They determine that the elbow-to-chin contact merited further action. Mike Sanzere came over to the broadcast table to explain, and he said they were charging a dead ball contact technical foul on A1.
Team B shot two free throws and got the ball at mid court.
My only concern is with the terminology and the resumption of play. Should this have been called a flagrant 1? The contact that was penalized was completely unintentional (so it seemed to me), and wouldn't B1 get the ball at the POI (94 feet from their basket)?

It was during a dead ball, so it's a technical foul for contact. Division line throw-in.
EDIT: Camron beat me to it. Same thing essentially.
