Some folks may have a more objective guideline than this, but for me...

If they both happened during the same dead ball period, if the one is a retaliation for the other, if it doesn't feel like we've "moved on" to the next play or activity, if it doesn't feel like it's been "too long" between the two, I'd rule it a double technical which simplifies the penalty enforcement and makes the penalties more equitable.

I realize that "feel" and "moved on" and "too long" are subjective, which makes it difficult to discuss or to quantify. But, I believe that if anybody else involved is going to dispute your decision, their argument will likely be driven by the very same kind of subjective "criteria". So, within the scope of the rule (NFHS 4-19-8b "A double technical foul is a situation in which two opponents commit technical fouls against each other at approximately the same time."), I think you're better off going with what's expected.

Just my $0.02
