Was this handled correctly?

I can't comment on the "how many ft's and for whom" part of the OP, but I noticed the above. While this may be the "recognized" signal for ejection in that area, it's not officially correct, is it? Not criticizing, just checking...

There is no prescribed signal under NFHS, but I've seen officials use the same signal umpires in softball/baseball use for ejecting someone. Back when I was in college, I took a class on officiating basketball, and our teacher (a HS/college official) said that would be the best signal to use, without the dramatics that our baseball brethren use.

I think it's called the, "You're Outta Here" signal?

I think that is a good example of how to correctly use the ejection signal:

I like JB Caldwells little gesture about 16 seconds in:

Alot of refs in this area use this signal for ejection.

I don't ,I try and keep it low key. Quitely go to coach and give him/her the spiel and away we go.

Looks to me like 2 FTs for the original live ball INT foul, a flagrant T for throwing the player to the floor after the INT foul, which is another 2 FTs. I think those are two different incidents, one live ball, one dead ball. 4 FTs for BV.

I agree 2 FTs for Rio and the ball at the division line.

With that said, I hope I never have this situation. The NFHS rules on fighting and leaving the bench are a clusterf**k.

Chess Ref, I think you said you know the guy in the sleeves. How did all this play out?

I posted a link to the protest story.They ended up 6 free throws and 2 free throws. I haven't heard specifics.

I haven't called him, he's got alot on his plate right now. But the story will come in in drips and drabs over the next week.

Thank you. I've never seen this thought, which I share, expressed so succinctly.
