At that time we had never worked together (I have worked with this official several times since) and we obviously did not see the same thing. Now I think I was right, but I completely understood why he felt he was right as well. The double foul takes the guessing out of the call. Once again, if you do not want this to happen, take your time.

Both players can't be wrong... Someone is wrong and someone is right. @ the college level we have tape that is going to back us up. If my partner comes to me and says he/she is absolutely sure something happened then I'm going with it. If that person says that then they know the tape will back them up.
In the block/charge in the men's game the coaches are going to look @ the tape and they will know who was right and who was wrong. If you have a chance to get it right during the game then get it right. Because if this happens and you get together and one of the partners says that they are sure of what happened then go with it. The coaches will still look @ the tape but will see that the tape backs up the call. I know that the men's game doesn't allow this to happen they have to go with a double foul. In the women's game we have the opportunity to correct it and go with the correct call and only penalize just one player and not two.
99% of the time when this happens the official who should've not been calling the play is going to come in and say just that. They will say something like, "I didn't have the best look @ it and I should've not been calling the foul." Then your going to go with the primary's call.
JR's right to just do everything you can to keep it from happening.
