Totally. When these happen, I read the intent of each player - moreso on the player with the advantageous position, and if s/he shows little to no desire to take the ball away, I have a quick whistle.

I also have a quick whistle in the dual-rebounding situation where continued contact will result in a player "on the back" of the opponent. This is what my area does.

Could be troublesome in co-ed games.
