What if lane violations were codified as follows?

DOUBLE LANE VIOLATIONS: violations by opponents at approximately the same time, with the following special cases:

FALSE DOUBLE LANE VIOLATIONS: violations by opponents in the marked lane spaces at approximately the same time where the defense violates first.

DELAYED DOUBLE LANE VIOLATIONS: violation by the defense followed by a violation by the offense, where the violation by the offense is not part of a False Double Lane Violation.
Well you cover the case, but I think make it unnecessarily complicated. I fear that someone reading your definitions would be confused.
Therefore, I would prefer:
Double violation: a player from each team violates, but clearly not at the same time
Simultaneous violation: a player from each team violates at approximately the same time

That's nice and simple. Coaches can understand that.
