"Not a dual penalty since piling on was a dead ball foul."
It makes sense.

And who says understanding the white book is hard?
It also says in the dual foul section that a dual foul is when a foul by each team occurs during a play. When a guy gets tackled, the play is over. If you then have a piling on, it is not during the play. So, no dual foul.
Now, having siad all this: I argue that piling is on a continuing action foul, and although it occurs during a dead ball, it should be treated as a live ball foul.
What do you think?
