RULING: This is a false multiple foul and each foul carries its own penalty. In (a), the goal is counted and A1 is awarded one free throw for each foul. In (b), A1 is awarded two free throws for each foul. R10-S6, Penalty 6 and 7. (My note: I do not know why Penalty 6 is referenced; it should be Penalty 2 and 5.)
So the correct Ruling is a false multiple foul with A1 shooting either four or six free throws.

Well, harumph. Now I have to admit you were right and also raise my eyebrow at the use of the term "approximately" in the rule book.
I really wish they'd define it, because anything that happens in less than a second's time would constitute approximately to me...though the NFHS is obviously going to disagree with me.
