Therefore, I would treat it as a false double foul and rule that you would shoot FTs as what you describe would not meet the definition of simultaneous fouls. Since the fouls will probably be called by different officials, you should have room to rule that one came after the other. You could possibly do this in the original situation as well.
You lost me on this one. Thought second half of a false double foul occurs after the ball is dead and before the clock starts:

Rule 4 Section 26 Art. 12. False double foul. A false double foul occurs when there are fouls
by both teams, the second of which occurs before the game clock is started
after it is stopped for the first but such that at least one of the attributes of
a double foul is absent.
B1 fouls A1 as whistled by the L.
A2 curses B2 as whistled by the T.

You're the official. You have discretion to judge that the foul by A2 occurs after the foul by B1.

Then it becomes a false double foul instead of a simlutaneous foul.
