What do you do with the ball?

False double foul. Penalize the fouls in the order that they occurred. B1's sub shoots 2 FT's first. Then any A player(s) shoot the 2 technical FT's. The lanes are empty on all FT's. Team A gets the ball for a spot throw-in at center after the FT's for B1's flagrant technical foul.

It's a real stretch in situations like this if you called it a double fighting foul imo.

Btw, if B1 just shoved and didn't swing, then personally I'd just call a "T" on her instead of the flagrant "T". I kinda like to make sure the instigator is the one getting nailed in these situations, if I can.

JR hit this one right on the head. They were not simultaneous, so you shoot in the order the Ts occurred. Since the T on B1 was second, A gets the ball, halfcourt.

Could you explain why the elbow was considered flagrant? I don't think this is a situation where you should consider a fight be instigated. The way you described it, it seems like it should have just been a PC on A1 followed by a technical (not flagrant) on B1, but I wasn't there either.....
