That appears to punish the retaliation just a bit more, which I think makes sense. It's usually the retaliation that starts the fighting. Sends a message not to retaliate.

We've got different philosophies on this one. I agree that retaliation in a case like this is dumb too, but I can understand it-- especially with high school kids. Personally I'd rather send a message to a player not to instigate if I can. I always like to nail the ones who are responsible for giving me the headaches out there.

Fair enough. I think ultimately you'd have to see what happens with your own eyes. The initial shove may be a little push or it may be more severe. The kid throwing the ball may hit the other kid smack in the face. It could be called either way and either way could be justified. For the purposes of a test, however, I think they are looking for the false double foul scenario.
