You have it correct. Make sure that you make the proper signal for a double foul. Also, make a good preliminary call so the players and your partner know what the call is. When reporting the foul report "I have a double foul.. red 14 holding... white 54 pushing. We will go to the arrow for the throw in at the spot of the foul. This is a good call after you have given the players a warning. I made the call yesterday and it immediately cleaned up the post play. Be careful not to rely on this call when one player is clearly gaining the advantage on the post by the physical play. In other words it isn't always a double foul. Use the displacement factor to determine low block fouls. I see the defense penalized too much when the offensive player moves them off of their spot.
