I don't see any reason in what I'm reading that says a player can't get a T for shoving someone if they do it within a certain amount of time of committing a personal foul.

If you know of NBA rules that say otherwise, cite them. And remember, they did call an F1 AND a T on Anderson...and there was no mention in the NBA's followup of the play of that being incorrect.

I am not an NBA Rules guru. I am under the impression that these acts have to be treated as a double foul when situations take place during a dead ball against opponents. They do not handle these things (to my knowledge) like they do at other codes. And if you noticed, the only issue was whether a foul should have been given, not how many fouls should have been given because of each action.

Now maybe APG or others more versed on the rules can clarify either way, but that is my understanding of why this was handled that way. I am going to assume that the officials at that level know their rules better then most of us here.
