Before anyone breaks down "approximately," consider other situations where this happens: a fight breaks out on the court, A6 leaves his bench area then, say, ten seconds later B6 leaves his bench area. Both receive flagrant technicals (NFHS) and those fouls are considered simultaneous technicals (10-4-5).

As to the OP, my feeling is the play was handled correctly. A1 picks up a T for unsportsmanlike conduct. While the official is reporting/as the official is about to report that foul, B1 picks up a T for unsportsmanlike conduct. The Ts then become simultaneous. No FTs for those. Just deal with the penalty for the initial foul on A1.
A fight is different. It is all one big incident no matter how long it takes.
