In a situation such as this, two whistles and possibly two opinions, although it should be discussed during pre-game, it never hurts to take the time to stop and discuss the play with your partner if there is any doubt. There may be multiple fouls that are warranted, a travel before contact, a push in the back before a travel. In the heat of the contest, in a perfect world, we should see that one has a fist, one has an open hand or both have fists or both have open hands. That is not always the case. Your partner is the only one that you really ever want to talk to during the game if your talk much at all (outside of mechanics administration). Take the extra 20 seconds and get it right.
