Well in the subject play, I saw no fans impeding.

But in your hypothetical, I’d say it would be a judgment as to who was doing the impeding at the point play was impeded. So if in your judgment the bench personnel came out first, followed by fans but after the bench personnel had already impeded, then it’s Class B and ignore the fans’ action.

Almost like a free throw violation where the defender in the lane space induces the offensive player next to them to violate. We hold the inducer accountable.
