White men CAN jump!*

Here's a scenario that recently happened in our area:
Team A is a Christian school not known for their play above the rim...

Team A had a big lead late in the game and decided to get cute. A2 remained on his offensive end of the court, parking himself about a foot in front of the basket. After a defensive rebound, a Team A player fired the ball upcourt to A1 who dribbled toward his goal and, without traveling, stepped into A2's hands, was lifted high off the court and dunked the ball. The fans went wild, the coach loved it and the players thought they’d died and gone to heaven. Less amused were both officials, one of which waved off the goal and called a technical.

Rule 10 Section 3 Article 7 tells us: "A player shall not commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as: e. Climbing on or lifting a teammate to secure greater height." PENALTY: Technical foul. Two free throws plus ball for division-line throw-in.

Now on to the tricky part...
Who receives a technical foul?
a) A1 (the dunker)
b) A2 (the lifter)
c) A1 & A2
d) None of the above, hope the game was being filmed and send it in to America's Funniest Home Videos. After winning first place, share the money with all of your Officialforum.com friends

As the rule reads, it seems to me that both players would be charged with a technical foul (i.e. A1 for climbing on a teammate; A2 for lifting a teammate). Can anyone find a Case Book reference (I've already checked 04-'05, '05-'06 & '06-'07)?
