If you can't figure out which one came first, then choose the most obvious foul and/or the one that makes the most sense.
From your description, it sounds like the best option in your case is to count the basket and put A1 on the line for one free throw. This is the obvious call.
Don't make your job harder than it already is by complicating plays that don't need to be complicated.

In other words, make no effort to follow the rules and do it the right way, just take the easy way out and ignore one of the fouls because you think that calling both would make the coaches mad.
Terrible advice.
A real official doesn't care what the coaches think.
The coach who is truly going to be upset is the one that you screw by allowing an opponent to foul one of his players without penalty. That's the guy who is going to be mad at you and rightly so.
