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.

Interesting...you say that the Best advice is to use your voice, even though the 2003 NCAA rulebook CLEARLY states "Verbal warnings given to players have proven to be ineffective...officials should not talk to players to try to prevent a foul but should call a foul when one occurs."
You however say to talk to them and if they don't listen, then call the very next foul...how about calling the first one?? How about if that first foul is one where they are both shoving each other then call the double foul??
A double foul shows lack of game control?? It is the fastest way to get the post action under control - both players get the message real quick - and we don't even have to talk to them!!
Any other rules or mechanics you just get rid of in the WAC??
