Now you have me confused. Double fouls have always been defined as occurring at
approximately the same time, not at
exactly the same time. Anything that I've ever read or anybody that I've ever talked to has never brought up the concept of something having to occur "first". It always seemed to be understood that contact followed by
immediate retaliation(as in 2 players jockeying for position in the post) was a double foul, no matter who initiated the contact. Are they teaching that concept differently now?
In my experience, most double fouls are called to clean up post play or off-ball contact, or to send a message to 2 players to knock their crap off. And in everyone one of them, one of the players made the first contact. Do you regard those as cop-outs too, Tom?
