No technical foul if only one defensive player is available. I'll hunt around and find the backing citation.

the timing is what is wrong here. A is ahead. So official shouldn't call the game until and if team B shoots and makes the 3 free throws to tie. If they tie the game - how is A supposed to inbound the ball? I know this is a risk to say - but any SMART coach in this situation is going to pull all their players to the far end of the court and after B1 shoots he should be going to at least division line. A can make throw in pass - but it's doubtful anyone would legally touch it. Violation, B's ball at spot. Call the game at this point if you are going to call it. But if all this happened with only 6.3 left - I'd have let it play out. I just think it looks better - especially if A had been playing hard with only 2 players and was still ahead in the game.

While the rules discussion is useful, the situation presented smells like a load of complete doo doo. A has only 2 players left at the end of the game...and the foul count in the second half is only 5-6? What was the foul count at the end of the first half...128-6?
