Cameron understands the sitch....it's worked for me, as well.

JR: Beleive me, I called my share of DFs (even a false multiple!). I do agree that it's a judgement call.

Here's a very common sitch regarding rough play that is what I think the thread was addressing:

A5 & B5 are post players that won't be seeing the ball alot because both teams are run & gun and outside shooting-minded. They are mainly in there as rebounders and bangers.

On the first two possesions, each time shot is taken, they crash the boards, locking each other's arms together fighting for rebounding position. But since the ball either goes in, or hasn't come to them, you haven't made a call as there has been no advantage gained. Neither A5 or B5 has fallen on the floor, or even shown any negative emotion.

There have been no whistles and you haven't had an opportunity to talk to the players.

On the third possesion, a shot goes up, A5 & B5 lock each other up again, and the ball is coming to them. They both have equal position and equal chance at the ball. Now they fall.

On whom do you call the foul on? Double foul?

If DF, and they don't adjust, what is your next call going to be? Another DF?

...just another pebble on the basketball of life!
