If the shooting foul occurs prior to the rebounding foul, the shooting foul would be penalized, even if the shot isn't released while the ball is live.

Not that I don't believe you, but can you give me the rules reference so I can look it up later? (I always need to read the actual citation for myself)

I'll have to look tonight when I get home, but I don't recall a rule that would tell us to disregard the free throws on a shooting foul just because the shot wasn't released while the ball was live. If he never released it at all, you'd give him 3 shots. If it was the end of a quarter, you'd give him 3 shots. Why not here?

You may be right. But in practical terms, if both fouls occur before the release, I don't see any crew I'm on going with anything but a simultaneous.

Agreed, I would have to be pretty clear which happened first: otherwise POI, A ball OOB nearest where A1 was holding it.
