Then, the penalties go on to say that there are not FTs for double personal fouls. The rule only explicitly talks about flagrant fouls in this context but that is as a note to explain the rule and there is no reason to think it doesn't apply to intentionals ... Rule 10 Penalty Summary: NOTE: If one or both fouls of a double foul are flagrant, no free throws are awarded. Any player who commits a flagrant foul is disqualified.
Agree. Nice citation Camron Rust. Incomplete, but still covered by purpose and intent.

I guess it depends on the "mood" of the official and how many split seconds pass between the first two fouls. Also, the timing of the whistle (stopping action) may be a big factor.

I see real game possibilities in both options.

B) Three separate fouls. Personal foul (possible bonus free throws). Intentional dead ball technical foul (anybody shoots free throws). Another intentional dead ball technical foul (anybody shoots free throws).
Nice thread. Camron Rust, bob jenkins, and Mannix, thanks for playing.

I consider the level of contact and the ensuing penalty consequences when ruling on these multiple contact situations.

Sequence 1: B2 lands on A2 while going for a loose ball, A2 elbows B2, B2 shoves A2.
My opinion is that an elbow is a significant foul which needs to receive a strong punishment. Therefore, grouping the second foul with the first and creating a double personal foul, despite one of the fouls qualifying as intentional, would warrant no FTs for these two fouls, which I feel is inequitable. Hence, pairing the second foul with the third and creating a double technical foul, which offsets and awards no FTs is clearly more equitable. Shoot any bonus FTs from the first foul or award the ball out of bounds to Team A and continue the game.

Sequence 2: B2 lands on A2, A2 shoves B2, B2 elbows A2.
Here it makes more sense to pairing the first two fouls as part of a double personal foul, which offset, and then charge an intentional technical foul for the third one. Award FTs and possession to Team A.

That is a reasonable approach.

Agree. Shouldn't be ignored as just "incidental contact", dead ball, or live ball.

My question is why is Team B inbounding the ball after any free throws when B2 committed the last foul?

Another IAABO head scratcher.
