Administrative Technical Fouls

The ruling states that "Since the penalties offset, neither team is awarded free throws".

I looked at the '20-'21 book and I can't find a corresponding case play; and the PENALTY section of 10-1 doesn't mention that these would be categorized as simultaneous fouls.

Have I just forgotten an obvious rule or case that says any time both teams commit an equal number of pre-game administrative fouls, that they offset? I feel like this is something that I really should know, but I'm drawing a total blank.

Per NFHS Case Book Ruling or Rules Interpretation (I do not have my books in front of me.) Administrative TFs during the Pre-Game Period (and I am also going to say Halftime because I have not seen a Ruling for such a Situation during Haĺftime but I would consider the Pre-Game Period the same as an Inermission which is what Halftime is considered) are considered to be Double Fouls, not False Double Fouls.
