False Double Foul with Held Whistle

I would have cleared the lane and shot the 2FTs for the shooting foul by B1, then with the lane still empty, shot the 2FTs for the T on B6, then awarded Team A the ball at the division line opposite the table.

This is what I was saying and This is the only way that makes sense to me!!! Let me know if I'm wrong....

I see that you're trying to make sure that Team B is penalized by losing the ball, but the fact of the matter is, the rule book says you should administer the foul shots in the order in which they occurred. In this case, it all depend on whether you consider the foul to have occurred when the player said the words or when the whistle was blown.

I'm tempted to say that it doesn't matter; because possession of the ball is part of the penalty for the technical foul. Shouldn't the offended team get the ball, regardless of how you shoot the free throws?

I think by withholding your whistle until it is played out is, in a way, allowing you to penalize the T second.....you are going to call it but allowing A to have the opportunity to score/get fouled....What I'm saying is, the shooting foul happened first and the T second, which gives you the order to proceed and give the ball to A at midcourt after the free throws.
