I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this in an NCAA-II game last night. There was a typical block/charge type of play. I thought the call should have been a block (against the team I was rooting for), but what happened floored me. There was a double whistle on the play. One official signaled for a block while the other signaled for a charge. After about two or three minutes of discussion between the two officials, they called both coaches to the table. After the discussion with the coaches, the announcer said that the call was a double foul. To top it all off, the offensive player made the basket and the officials counted the bucket. It really didn't make a big difference because it was a 20-point game at the time with about two minutes remaining. Has anyone else ever seen anything like this?
