Going Out with a Bang

While case 10.4.4.A states that the two players who were fighting (notice it does not specifically state the ball was live at the time, but even the NF wouldn't be stupid enough to contradict themselves so blatantly) results in a double "personal" foul, rule (not case) 10.3.10 says a player technical shall be issued to any player charged with fighting. It does not state the ball has to be dead.

Another dichotomy in the NF rules. You would think that after 100 years, they would have caught this stuff.

Case Book 10.4.4SitB specifically covers a fight during a dead ball.Penalty is flagrant technicals.CB10.4.4A has to refer to a live ball situation.It's the only other choice. The language certainly isn't the best,but I think R10-3-10 refers to dead ball/clock stopped situations.As you said-another day,another dichotomy!
