You're absolutely right about this. 4-19-9 and 4-19-12 define FALSE double fouls and FALSE multiple fouls. The word "false" means that the two fouls in question don't happen at the same time.

So try to picture this situation. A1 attempts a try for goal and is fouled in the act of shooting by B1. After the whistle has sounded for the foul and after the play is clearly over, A1 turns and shoves B1 to the floor.

This is a false double foul. The second foul occurs after the ball is dead and while the clock is stopped, but still must be penalized, because it is intentional.

Does that make sense?

P.S. -- this is not a big deal, but rule citations for high school are written with dashes (4-19-12) and case plays are written with periods (4.19.12). I knew exactly what you were referring to, but if you see someone else's post, I didn't want you to go to the rule book when they were talking about a particular case play.
