Interesting Foul Situation

NFHS: A1 drives by defender B1 into the lane and is pushed from behind by B1 as he attempts a shot. The Trail raises his arm and whistles for a pushing foul on B1. A1 is in the act of shooting so there is continuation. However, the push causes A1 to go harder toward the basket. A1 charges into B2 right after the shot is released. The lead raises his arm and whistles, since he has a player control foul on A1, and makes eye contact with the Trail. The ball goes in. Assume that the Lead did not see the push by B1. What is the correct procedure?

The trail and the lead have to get together and decide whether the push by B1 caused the charge by A1.
1)If they decide that the push caused the charge,the lead should cancel his call.You end up with a foul on B1,count the basket,and A1 gets 1 shot.
2)If they decide that the push didn't cause the charge,then when the charge occurs,the ball will become dead immediately,and the shot won't count.B1 and A1 will both be charged with fouls,but A1 will now get 2 FT's for being fouled in the act of shooting.
3)If the officials can't decide if the push called the charge,both calls stand and you go to #2 above.
