Yeah, it's mostly a local NE WI thing - when we get further west or down to GB they do it when both teams hit court but we are expected to be there as well.

#1.

4-19-8b
Double fouls:
A double technical foul is a situation in which two opponents commit technical fouls against each other at approximately the same time.

I certainly wouldn't consider the 16 and 9 minute mark "at approximately the same time."

In #2, the definition doesn't say the act has to be the same, it says "at approximately the same time."

Therefore, you've got to go with #1 and in the order they occurred.

And both coaches remained on the bench
for the entire game!
