Two weird things

Try this one I saw about 3 years ago while just waiting for my game: opening jump of overtime - jumper A1 bats ball on jump, jumper B1 catches ball before it hits the floor while at exactly the same time of the catch, A1 throws an elbow into B1's head...

We have to decide which occurred first. If the catch occurred first, then we have a violation by B1, A gets the ball and the arrow and the foul by A1 is ignored because the ball was dead when it occurred. Since you said that the contact was ruled to be neither flagrant or intentional, my guess is they ruled the violation came first.

But, just in case, if the foul occurs first, then we ignore the violation by B1 and we have a foul on A1. Are we in the bonus? If we are, the arrow is set to A when the ball is adminstered to B1 for his FT(s).

B2 then runs over and punches A1, A6 then runs off the bench and punches B2 in retaliation. The refs were able to break it up at that point with no further damage.

B2 - Flagrant technical foul and disqualified.
A6 - Two flagrant technical fouls and disqualified.

B will shoot 2 FTs and will get the ball at the division line.

Oh, also, Team's A Head coach is ejected because A6 was bench personnel and A1, B1, and B2 all get ice packs for bloody noses.

See if you can sort out the calls and then I'll tell you what the guys doing the game called. BTW - here's a hint - the elbow was ruled not to be intentional or flagrant.

Okay, what did they do?
