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.

What about the case where the defense in a marked lane spot draws the offense in? Would that be an exception to 'simultaneous violation' in your classification scheme?
My language echos the pattern established in naming fouls, and simplifies, which I think has some problems. 'Simultaneous' fouls are said to happen at 'approximately' the same time - a sliding standard.
Revising, to avoid the sliding standard, and to conform with the common sense of the term simultaneous:
SIMULTANEOUS FREE THROW VIOLATION: violations by opponents at the same time. [Penalty: the ball becomes dead and no point can be scored . . .]
FALSE SIMULTANEOUS FREE THROW VIOLATION: violations by opponents in the marked lane spaces where the defense violates first. [Penalty: If both offenders are in a marked lane space . . . ]
DELAYED SIMULTANEOUS FREE THROW VIOLATION: violation by the defense followed by a violation by the offense, where the violation by the offense is not part of a False Simultaneous Free Throw Violation. [Penalty: the ball becomes dead and no point can be scored . . .]
