A double foul is almost never an isolated event.

If you are calling a double foul very often, you're missing what instigated the rough play. However, once in a great while, a double foul can be your best friend.

I agree with you Z. That's why I worded my post as I did. Sometimes you need it, and that's why it's in the book. But the reason it's not called very often is that it's not needed very often if we grab the first one. Even in a game like Juulie's, where the rough stuff seems to spring up suddenly, as soon as we're aware of it, we need to get that first one on each end.
