Interesting because this sitch occured twice yesterday. Both times I was trail and we had a double whistle, I hesitated and gave the call to my partner. At half, he asks if I had the same call, I didn't. Good thing I hesitated because you can end up looking STUPID.
As for Romano's question. I do ref FIBA rules (mostly). I don't think that the double foul rule exists to cover a block-charge. It seems to me in this situation, you go with block or charge. In this case, the lead should take the call as the ball as going towards him.
The FIBA rule book specifically states that two fouls cannot occur at the same time (except for a double foul).
Example, if there is a shooting foul and a foul away from the ball at approx. the same time, the officials must determine which came first. (FIBA)
I would think block-charge is the same idea, it's either a block or a charge. Even if you get wrong, call something.
