Fight Situation Question

College Rec League game. How would you adjudicate this scenario?
A1 driver for a layup, B1 attempts to block the shot but fouls A1, making contact to the back of A1's head with his elbow and A1's arm with his hand. A foul is called, but A1 lands on the floor and immediately turns, shoving B1 around the ribcage area.

B1 is displaced backwards but does not immediately retaliate. Approximately 3-5 seconds later, B1 comes back and shoves A1 high in the chest/low neck area. A1 again shoves B1, this time high around the neck. No players leave the bench areas and A2-A5 and B2-B5 restrain their respective teammates only and do not escalate.
After assessing B1 with the initial foul on the shot, would you:

1. Asses A1 with a technical foul for the initial push. Asses B1 with a flagrant technical for the shove to the neck area. Asses A1 with a flagrant technical for his second shove, this time to the neck area, judging the initial shove and the two subsequent shoves to be separate events because B1 stepped away without a spontaneous act for a measurable amount of time and waited until his teammates released him.

or, 2. Asses A1 and B1 with offsetting flagrant technicals, judging all activity to be part of one situation.
