I don't mind an occasional double foul early in a game, but I don't think I've ever called one in the second half.
In a perfect world, we'd call the foul on the instigator. But this isn't a perfect world and sometimes players just start going at each other at the same time. Sometimes a double foul is just what the doctor ordered. I've called one in the second half before. It stopped the shenanigans immediately.
