Correct Procedure?

OK Todd, I was thinking a "false" refers to a foul during a dead ball. Is the first of a two shot considered a dead ball?

I understand your line of reasoning there, but the "false" really means another foul occurred before the clock started again after the first foul was called. It isn't tied to live ball/dead ball. That would explain why it can be a false double foul, even though, as you initially suspected, the ball is LIVE during the first free throw--that is, the ball is live, but the clock hasn't started yet when the second foul happened.
