Reporting a simultaneous foul

That is all well and good and I could go either way, however no one has as yet gone to the attic to dust off their 1934 mechanics book to give us direction as to what the preferred way is? I haven't come across anything that gives any light. Is there someone out there that has a reference?

The calling official reports the foul they called. That is what the book says, no need to deviate here. The fact that it is a "simultaneous" foul is mostly an artificial label due to coincidence. It is just two fouls.

Well, it does matter as far as the enforcement goes.

Agreed, but what the enforcement will be has never determined who reports a foul(s). The enforcement it what occurs after the fouls are reported.

EDIT: I'll add that the last of the two to report should probably announce the combined enforcement to the table.
