Using teammates to foul?

How would you call the foul when a teammate uses his teammate to foul the opposing team player, whether it's offensive or defensive, for example pushing his teammate bumping into the opponent, would you call it some unsportsmanship technical on the player pushing or the teammate whom got pushed into a foul?

For example B1 pushes B2 into contact with ball handler A1 to stop him from making a shot.

For example Ball handler A1 pushes A2 into B1 who is guarding A1.

For example A1 grabs A2 and pulls him in to block defender B1's path for a not so legal screen (insufficient space or moving screen).

Foul on the player that ultimately ends up making contact on the opponent.

I agree. And I recently made such a call. When the offender told me that he got pushed, I told him it was his teammate that had pushed him - he hadn't realized that it was his teammate.

Officials only penalize illegal actions.
Pushing or pulling a teammate is nothing. If that teammate makes illegal contact with an opponent, that is what gets whistled. The player who made the contact with the opponent gets charged with the foul. If he doesn't like it, he can complain to the teammate who pushed him.

Too bad we can't also consider the pusher an "accessory" and give him half a foul.

would you also give a flagrant & eject the player if the contact was too dangerous even though he didn't walk his way into the contact but pushed by the player, or will you just call a normal foul?

so in no way the pushing teammate will get called for a foul even if it's unsportsmanlike such as this?
