We actually had this play in a wRECk game last season (we use NFHS rules).

We ruled an offensive foul on A1, then a flagrant foul on B5. We then had multiple technical issued for both coaches going ballistic about play and the calls. In the end I think we had 1 offensive foul, 1 flagrant foul (with ejection), two deadball techs for players mouthing off to each other, one coach picked up his first tech, and the other coach picked up his second tech and was also ejected.

See case 4.19.9A.

And, note that if A1 fouled B1 while B1 "tried to take A1's head off" then the ruling would be different. That fact that the chapmaja's play is a false double foul and not a double foul makes all the difference.
