Double number change

Would both players be ejected for flagrants technicals regardless of how many player fouls they had accumulated?

Judgment call. I agree that you can certainly make up a good justification for flagrant technical fouls against both players in this particular case.

Nope. This time you completely screwed it. (Glad I'm not the only one on here who makes a mistake from time to time.)
It is not a judgment call at all. It plainly says right there in the book that it is a flagrant foul. Ch1town is right.

Rule 10
SECTION 3 PLAYER TECHNICAL
A player shall not:
ART. 1 . . . Participate after changing his/her number without reporting it to the scorer and an official.
PENALTY: (Art. 1) Flagrant foul. Penalized if discovered while being violated.

BTW there is no penalty to the Head Coach according the chart on page 73.

What happens when only one of the player starts the second half? So: A1 has 4 PF and A2 has 1 PF. A1 enters the game wearing #2 to start the 2nd half. Is there no penalty for A2 when he tries to enter midway through the 3rd quarter, assuming he changes into his normal jersey (and that he doesn't remove his jersey in the area of the playing court)?

Not unless you consider the jersey switcheroo to be "unsporting conduct" - then you T up A2 while on the bench AND the coach gets an indirect.
