Neither of them even realize there is a double whistle. Lead goes to table and reports his block then not seeing him trail goes to table and reports charge.
Long story short they recorded both fouls and went to point of interuption.
I'm guessing Lead didn't pause after his whistle and trail didn't close down on his call.
Question: even though it was totaly botched by the officials did they report and administer everything correctly?

1. How did the Lead go to the table and report a block, then the Trail go to the table and report a PC foul and neither of them knew it? The gym can be as loud as a jet engine and I'm going to know that my partner is at the table reporting something.
2. Assuming they didn't know the other one reported a foul, how did they know to go to the POI? Mind reading?
3. If this was a 2-whistle game, they should have yielded to the Lead and let him have the first crack at the play since it was coming at him. The Trail didn't hold his preliminary it sounds like. It has nothing to do with "closing down".
4. Yes, they got it right in the end. It's a blarge and you go to the POI. I just don't understand how they could each have a foul and report them separately and never figure out that the other guy had been at the table, but somehow know to go to the POI?
