Say I were to workout in the morning and at night on a carb backloading diet. What would I eat after the morning workout and would I stick to simple carbs at night still?

Meal timing doesn't matter, it's personal preference. If you like to eat your carbs before your workout to energize your performance, then go ahead.
Simple or complex, it doesn't matter. Complex carbs tend to have more fiber in it thus making you full for longer period of time, If you like them. Eat them.✔ Calisthenics ONLY For MASS & STRENGTH.

You've not given us a lot of information to work with. However I will make a few assumptions. I assume you are training for a competitive endeavor, I also assume you are trying to make a weight and currently you are cutting, if that is accurate then meal timing may very well help you. Having an adequate meal following your morning session would be paramount in my opinion, I would suggest a varied and balanced meal that will provide adequate amounts of all three macros.
If my assumptions are correct it seems reasonable to assume you have your energy balance worked out quite well and your caloric intake is strictly monitored. The only thing that does bother me is the question about carbs at night, why are you wondering about simple carbs at night? If you are following some protocol eating "simple carbs at night" in order to replenish glycogen stores you would do just as well with a balanced meal that simply provides adequate carbohydrates and provides for sufficient or more than sufficient micro nutrients as well.

This sort of answer isn't going to make people want to help you...
When I train twice a day (for Muay Thai), I find that having carbs in between the two workouts helps me perform better and that I feel like **** if I don't have them. Let your own energy/performance levels guide you on this one, though. Why are you training twice a day anyway?
If you're concerned that CBL isn't going to be suitable for your schedule, don't follow it. There aren't any special benefits to it beyond personal preference.
You aren't even doing strict 'CBL' anyway if you haven't read the book, which makes it doubly weird that you're getting pissy about how others choose to define it.
Depending on what you're training for, you maybe shouldn't be training twice a day anyway.

A little late on the reply here but if you haven't figured out yet haha here's what John Keifer recommends. If you're training in the morning at the optimal time then take in healthy high glycemic carbs, such as bananas including a shake post training. Then for the rest of the day eat no carbs. After your evening session ingest simple carbs, or supposedly junk food. Correct me if I'm wrong haha

You can safely ignore what Keifer says as his advices is based on cherry picked studies.
Instead eat carbs when you prefer to and when it allows you to perform well.
You do not need high GI carbs post workout or any other time of the day. You can eat them if you prefer though.Recommended science based fitness & nutrition information:

Why not just make things simple and get in your target amount of carbs in whenever you want? Carb backloading, carb cycling, etc, is unnecessary. Use your mental energy to focus on the things that actually matter more than things that CAN make an extremely small difference.
If you don't get what you want you didn't want it bad enough
