Additional clarification directly from Jeff O’Malley:
The goal does not count Rule 5-1.15. The penalty administration is the common foul FT's are administered with no one on the lane followed by the flagrant FT's. Then the ball awarded to the team offended by the flagrant foul at the POI. Rule 10-1 PENALTY f.
