So, we marked the book as pf1 on both players, as well as 1 foul each towards the bonus. We then shot 2 throws for B (A's tech was first), 2 for A, then jumped center and went. (college mechanic)

Nothing in the case plays, and I know what happens after one. So it should have followed that the actions are penalized in the order of occurrence.

Again, we missed the biggest piece (indirect on the coaches, loss of coach box).

Live and learn long enough, you'll see it all.

A couple of years ago the NFHS put out a ruling for pregame Ts by both teams and stated that they are treated as simultaneous fouls. Perhaps that was only for administrative technical fouls though. I will need to check.
It was a confusing ruling and not based upon the text of the rules book, but the NFHS did publish it.
