Resumption of Play

I was sent this situation and wondered what you all thought:

"I have a question for you all and would like your opinions. Situation: Both teams delay after a timeout and you are shooting free throws. Using the resumption of play procedure, you place the ball on the FT line and walk away, starting the 10 second count. The 10 seconds expire with both teams still in the huddle. Do you:
a. have a double violation since both teams delayed
b. have an immediate violation on the defense for not occupying the first marked lane space, thereby negating the violation on the offense and giving them another 10 seconds to break the huddle?

I guess my gut feeling is it would be a double violation and any further delay by either team would be a technical foul, but wanted to get your feelings on the matter as I don't think this situation is specifically addressed by the rules."

Thanks
