Excessive Pushing for Rebound Positioning on Made Basket

A2 and B2 are jockeying for position in the low post for rebound position as A1 shoots.

1) As the ball hits the rim, B2 pushes A1 in anticipation of a miss, but the ball goes in.
2) After the ball has passed through the basket or simultaneous with its passing through the basket, B2 pushes A1.

(assume both pushes rise to the level of requiring a foul to be called, but are not unsportsmanlike)

For 1, would it just be basket counted and a common foul on B2, spot throw-in on baseline for A?
On 2, since the ball becomes dead on a made basket is the only recourse a dead-ball contact T? In the NBA they have the odd thing were the fouled player gets 1 free-throw like he was the shooter, but to the best of my knowledge that is not a NFHS rule.

This play was given in a meeting today and the "correct" answer stated was there is no recourse in 1, just play on, and call a common foul on B in 2. That didn't sit well with me and seems wrong.
