Multiple Foul ?

If you don't know, you're guessing no matter what, whether you go with a simultaneous or a regular false double.

I'm certainly willing to allow Brad to clarify, but everything in his post indicates that he wishes to only penalize one of the two fouls, and simply ignore the other.

Calling a "simultaneous foul" here will do nothing other than make both coaches mad at you and completely confuse all players, coaches, fans, and anyone involved in the game. This is the worst option.

If you can't figure out which one came first, then choose the most obvious foul and/or the one that makes the most sense.

From your description, it sounds like the best option in your case is to count the basket and put A1 on the line for one free throw. This is the obvious call.

Don't make your job harder than it already is by complicating plays that don't need to be complicated.

So when Brad counts the goal and puts A1 on the line for one FT what is he doing about the foul committed by A2? The coach of Team B should certainly be asking about that. There is no mention of penalizing it afterwards as part of a false double foul.
