Two Fouls

Offense got the ball outbounds where point of interuption was. Team was not in bonus. Was right decision made. What if the offensive team was in bonus situation. Would you clear lane and shoot the first foul and then put players on the lane to shoot 2nd bonus? Definition for double, multiple or simultaneous does not fit 2 players of same team fouling 2 separate players. Best result is to determine one foul called before the other and ignore but one ref felt his foul was such it would be a dead ball technical. Thoughts?

A false multiple foul is a situation in which there are two or more fouls by the same team and the last foul is committed before the clock is started following the first, and at least one of the attributes of a multiple foul is absent.
