I disagree. The definition of a simultaneous folu is needed because the fouls are not against one another. I agree with BZ that the two fouls must be the same, just as they have to be the same for a double foul. As I stated, I believe simulataneous fouls are identical in definition to double fouls, except that the fouls are not committed against each other. That's clearly spelled out in the rule.
Ok I see the light now LOL...I do believe we could do away with the simultaneous foul and just add some language such as "personal fouls committed by each team at approxiamately the same time" or "technical fouls committed by each team at approxiamately the same time" but that might be toooooo easy....
