Double foul or technical?
We judge the time lapse between the two acts:
  • very short time (pure judgement) ---> Double foul
  • a little longer than a very short time (pure judgement) ---> Technical foul

    [/B][/QUOTE]Agree with that,mick,but just a quick point,more for the new officials.

    The time lapse doesn't mean that the 2nd foul HAS to be a technical foul.You can still have a personal foul with the time lapse,to then constitute part of the false double foul. The most common play illustrating a false double foul with 2 personals is A1 shooting a foul shot,and a teammate committing a foul during that FT. The teammate's foul is a personal foul because the ball was alive,but we now have a false double foul because the second foul was committed before the clock started following the first foul.
