Same as Sit 1 except A1 has left the floor as an airborne shooter.

ART. 5 . . . A technical foul is:
c. An intentional or flagrant contact foul while the ball is dead, except a foul
by an airborne shooter.

I know there could be a lot of "you have to see it" interpretations here, if you make a call here, would you call:
A] intentional; B] technical; or C] flagrant option of either intentional or technical.

Same answer here....

By your own cite above, what you can never have by rule is a technical foul any kind because the contact described in both situations came during a live ball. The only way you could possibly have an intentional or flagrant technical foul would be if the contact came after a shot was made and the ball was dead.

Your choices in both situations above are:
1) personal foul
2) intentional personal foul
3) flagrant personal foul

From your description above, the appropriate call imo would be an intentional personal foul.
