Two fouls close together

A1 then charges into B2 who is stationary in the lane in legal guarding position. So you have a defensive foul on team B on an airborne shooter followed immediately by a charge by that airborne shooter. Are these simultaneous fouls? or a false double foul? and what penalties?

I hope I am not stating the obvious here, but I didn't see it mentioned -
A1's contact with B2 should be given leniency proportional to B1's body contact with A1.

What?!? Are you suggesting...consistency? Are you nuts?
