But which one?

Pregame does't mean anything once they both signaled.

Both made a call based on their angle and opinion. The play was in transition so the areas were shifting down the court. The entire play is the leads on a fast break no matter who's ultimate "primary" it was in. It only becomes a primary once the official is in position to cover it.

Once the both signaled, who could back off? Either way and one coach could have a very valid complaint that could eventually blow up.

Double foul is the clean and right solution once conflicting signals have been given.
