False Double vs Simultaneous

Free throws for A1 with the lane empty followed by a throwin (or free throws, if in the bonus) for B.

Let me rephrase my question. How do you determine whether this is:

A) Fouls by both teams, the second of which occurs before the clock is started following the first, and such that at least one of the attributes of a double foul is absent?
or
B) A foul by both teams which occurs at approximately the same time, but are not committed by opponents against each other?

Many situations will lend itself to one or the other. I am having a hard time finding what makes this sitch one or the other. If I was on this game, I would have been lobbying for a false double foul. The longer I look at it, the harder it is for me to decide why.

Simultaneous fouls happen at the same "Wall Clock" time. False-Double fouls happen at the same "Game Clock" time but at different "Wall Clock" times.

[just another ref]

Simultaneous: The fouls happened at approximately the same time.


False double: One happened clearly after the other.

In a situation where you have a shooting foul and a rebounding foul, I'm going to assume the shooting foul was first every time; unless I know for certain it's not the case.

I believe he is asking why, in the false double foul, the 2nd foul is not a tech since the clock is (or should be) stopped.

The clock being stopped is not the issue: it's whether the ball is dead.

If the shot is still in progress, the ball is not dead, so the 2nd foul would not (necessarily) be a T.

Although the clock stopped, the ball is still live until.....you know the answer.

I know the answer but the OP wanted to know and no one explicitly stated it.

I think he's asking how we choose between the two options here (false double and simultaneous). My answer: False double unless it's obvious that you can't.
