The referee calls a foul on A2 for pushing B2 but the question is how to administer the play.
In the game I was watching they cleared the lane and let A1 shoot his free throw and then went to the other end and let B2 shoot his free throw since they were in the bonus.
My question is this a violation, should A1 should be able to shoot his second FT?
Also since the ball is live is this a team control foul and there should be no shots by B2 and team B simply gets the ball?
We have discussed other possible rulings what say you guys?
Thanks

This sound like an intentional foul to me. I would have A shoot their second FT with the lane cleared, then B shoot 2 and get the ball at the spot nearest the foul.
I could be swayed on not allowing A to shoot their second FT but I can't think of what I would apply to do that.
