Cancellations of Equal Penalties

In some cases like those a note pad would be great.

The cancellation procedure refers only to "play" penalties (throw-ins and free throws), not to accessory penalties such as ejection.

In FIBA, leaving the bench during a fight is treated very differently than in Fed. All players leaving the bench are ejected, but only one T is charged to the coach (and usually it's cancelled with some other penalty, for example the corresponding T to the other coach), independently from the number of players involved.

Note that a shove followed by a punch by opponents is not a double foul, nor they are technical fouls but rather unsportsmanlike (U) fouls or disqualifying (D) fouls: the free throws resulting from them, if not cancelled with other penalties, must be shot by the offended player (or their substitute, in case of ejection).
