Riti's Answer:

This scenario is different than the one posed in the earlier forum question.  The earlier question indicated that an A player committed a loose ball technical foul while there was a flag down slow whistle on B. That results in an immediate whistle. Team A does not serve any penalty time for their loose ball technical foul, but would serve time had they committed a personal foul. (See Simultaneous Fouls.)

As stated in the current question, since both fouls were on Team B players, the second foul would have ended the slow whistle and both fouls are assessed against the applicable B players.

Rule 6.1 Exception -

2. During a slow whistle, a loose-ball technical foul committed by the defensive team shall result in a time-serving penalty.

Rule 7.6 Art 2 -

ART. 2 . . . During a slow whistle or play-on, any foul committed by the team in possession (or entitled to possession) shall result in an immediate immediate whistle.

ART. 3 . . . Penalty time: a. If there is no play-on or flag down in effect and if all fouls are technical, the fouls cancel. b. If the team in possession (or entitled to possession) commits: 1. Only technical fouls, no penalty time will be served by that team. 2. Any personal foul, all players involved will serve penalty time.
