The "something" that happens first may not warrant a whistle at that time.We have no idea on a play what may escalate into something that we have to control.Each complete play has to be judged strictly on it's merits.When they start banging each other and you want to clean it up,you can't go back to something that you ignored at the start of the banging,and call it now.Double fouls are a tool for an official to use.Always have been.I don't agree with your concept at all,Tim.
