Girls State Quaterfinals today. In closing minutes one offical misses three foul calls under the basket and calls a double dribble, that was overturned by the other offical.

2 questions, just being objective, nothing personal. Who, besides you said that he missed 3 fouls? I mean, he may have missed 10 fouls, but the point is you say that he missed 3 as if that were now documented somewhere.
What exactly happened on the "overturned" double dribble.
One official does not have the authority to overturn another official's judgment call. The only way this call could have been changed is if the 2 officials conferred and went with another call which presumably happened first.

How about A1 is dribbling, picks up ball, B1 knocks ball free, O1 sees defensive play and O2 does not, A1 commences dribbling, O2 says double dribble. I think that a couple of refs could confer on what was seen and have an inadvertent whistle.
As for 3 missed fouls, there is contact all the time, especially underneath. It is always a foul when you need it to be called, it is good defense when you are on the other bench. We won by two this weekend, had three shots against us with two blocks and one major shot alteration in the last 10 seconds (really!), and I sweated a foul call on each of them because there was some body contact. I thought we played good D, challenging the shots cleanly, and body contact was initiated by the offense jumping into the defender (no disadv to the D, therefore incidental). Refs agreed and no-called it, opponent thinks they missed three fouls. You tell me what it was - I think it depends on which bench you occupied.
