Worked a clinic over the weekend. It was my first experience with a 3-Whistle crew. Had this play in our last game of the day. I'm pretty sure we got it wrong, but wanted some other views.
I am C. A1 drives into the lane from my primary. As he elevates to shoot, B1 grabs A1's arm. TWEET from C. A1 releases the ball and crashes into B2. TWEET from L. L comes running off the baseline signaling charge. C steps forward with fist up.
Ultimately we went with my call from C. A1 went to the line to shoot 2, and play continued from there. Coaches didn't say a word, and our evaluator suggested that L should be slower with his signal. Also suggested that maybe I should have just put my arm down and moved on, even though he thought I had the right call. After going back to the rule book, I think we had a False Double Foul. The grab on A1 was definitely a foul, but it didn't cause the PC foul. I'm thinking A1 goes to the line to shoot 2, lane cleared. B gets the ball on the basline following the free throws.
Any other views?

If you go with both fouls, it's gotta be a False Double, but man, that's tricky, especially at a clinic. I think I'd have gone with the call you did, unless I knew that evaluator very well, and could have predicted his response. I disagree with him completely about letting the first one go. Unless B2 got a knee in the eye, and was blinded for life, I think I'd be more inclined to let the second one go. A1 heard the second whistle, saw the second signal and is now on notice that he can't get away with that. Administering a false double can be so complicated -- keep the game moving, and get on with playing ball.
