The BEST advice is to use your best "officials voice" and control the individual issue.

If your voice fails -- pick the VERY next contact between the two and then call it quickly and with confidence.

As an ex-college official and paid evaluator I HATE seeing one single official calling a double foul. In my opinion it shows lack of game control by that official.

I disagree. The evaluators that are paid to evaluate me
disagree. And the people who pay me and the evaluators
disagree. Double fouls are (to quote a well known
inside trader) "a good thing". Further, the "best" advice
is often to evaluate each of these situations as they
present themselves. Sometimes you can talk players out
of being stupid, sometimes you can't.
