Here's my thinking on this mess...

1. It's not a double foul because it's not the same 2
players fouling each other.
2. It might be a false double foul because one of the
elements of a double foul is missing, meaning both teams
shoot FT's.
3. Simultaneous foul is interesting but there's not
enough support in the book to wave off the FT's. NCAA
4.26.15 defines a simultaneous foul as exactly what happens
in this play. NCAA 6.3.1f tells us we use the AP when
simultaneous fouls occur. Nothing anywhere in the NCAA book
about NOT shooting free throws on simultaneous fouls.
(I'm quoting the NCAA book because I have an electronic
copy of it making the search easier. I believe it gives
us at least as much, maybe even more guidance than the NF
book.)

I am vey willing to be shown how I'm wrong on any of these
(except #4), so if there's a hole here please point it out.
