Double or False Double?

The following is copied from my state's fan board....

Quote:
A) Player 1 on Team A commits an Intentional Foul at half court which was the teams 6th team foul.

B) Player 2 on Team B then commits a dead ball foul immediately preceding the whistle being blown for foul (A). The official issues a Single Personal Foul and a Technical Foul to Player 2 for a dead ball foul.

Now this is where I am confused, the official said that there would be no foul shot taken for either infraction as the offset each other.
It sounds like the official went with a double foul. I'm not sure how you can have a dead ball foul preceding a whistle, but just the same, if the fouls were close enough together in time, can an intentional and a common foul result in a double, or should this be a false double?
