Two technical fouls, one to the climber, and one to the lifter? Four free throws?

In this case, I'd go with just one on B5 who did the lifting; B13 did not climb.

Agree to the point that this was a case of similar multiple infractions occurring at the same time.

Two technical fouls, and four free throws (plus no basket and opponents get ball) seems to be overkill.

Could be an eight point difference.

But I'm probably going after the dunker in most cases similar to this.

Not a perfect citation below (player technical versus team technical), but it does show a degree purpose and intent.

10.5.4 SITUATION B: Team A coaches and substitutes are all standing during a free throw by A1. The infraction is detected by the officials. How many technical fouls are assessed? RULING: In a situation where similar multiple infractions occur at the same time, it is not the intent of the rules to penalize each individual infraction as a separate technical foul. One technical foul is charged to Team A and it is also charged indirectly to the head coach in this situation, resulting in the loss of coaching-box privileges.

The lifter gets a technical foul.

Could be 10 or 11 if the non-offending team scores on their first possession after their division-line throw-in. That'd be huge...
