Mark, please cite those definitions and case book plays then. Afaik, simultaneous fouls have never been regarded as false double fouls. Simultaneous fouls have been regarded as simultaneous fouls....period. That's why there are separate definitions for each in the rule book.

The fouls making up a false double foul follow one other. Simultaneous fouls occur....well....simultaneously.

Another example......by definition, simultaneous fouls can NOT be committed by opponents against each other; in false double fouls, you can have opponents committing fouls against each other.
