Reporting a simultaneous foul

Definitely something that should be done face-to-face at the table as you said and probably a joint convo with the coaches to explain what's going on as well.

This was my first thought, and it might well be the best approach. My hesitation, though, is that there would be one less person watching the players while the reporting was being done. Also, I like the streamlined approach of having one official report both; easier to keep everyone's attention that way.

The drawback, obviously, is in having one official reporting a foul he didn't call. But any questions about that foul could easily be directed to the calling official.
