The referee calls a personal foul on B1.
Is this correct?
Could the official call a personal on B1 and an unsporting on B2?

NFHS: Since A1 had begun his shooting motion the ball does not become dead until the try ends. Assuming B2 contacted A1 before the try ended, if you rule a foul it must be a personal foul. In this situation, the fouls by B1 and B2 create a false multiple foul situation where each would carry its own penalty. Realistically, I’m ignoring B2’s foul unless I just can’t ignore it.

An “unsporting foul” in NFHS is a noncontact technical foul, so that would not fit the bill here (I know it’s different in FIBA). And as I noted, any foul you rule on B2 before the try ends must be a personal foul.
