Nope...this is not a double foul. Double fouls are committed by two players AGAINST EACH OTHER... so A1 pushes B3 and B3 pushes A1 at the same time...if there was a provision in the book for it, we could call these simultaneous fouls...unfortunately that only applies to simultaneous technicals...for some of the "older" members, didn't we have pretty much this same discussion last season? I seem to remember two points of view coming out...one was the flase double foul situation already posted, and the other was that the refs get together and "decide" which foul came first and ignore the other one since it wasn't flagrant or intentional...anybody else remember the outcome of that discussion????
