Exclamation

my response was directed more towards mr watson and rainmaker and specifically mr watson
he stated that "you can always bust out a double" this was the type of answer i hoped i would not get
it was given without any basis at all

some of the later responses did try and explain when a double foul might be a good idea, however if all members of an officiating crew are making the calls instead of one ref picking up the slack the game would be a lot better controled and a double wouldn't be necessary to get game under control

also a foul is a foul and to say it would not give an advantage is wrong if enough fouls are called to get a game under control at some point it is going to give one team an advantage

it does appear there are some refs or at least some people who do know when to make the correct call which is why i posted here so i would at least have an idea why a call was made and if it was close to being correct

thanks for the replys
keep them coming
