[just another ref]

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.

This goes along with what I was trying to say. They confer, and the official changes his own call. The point was that one official could not call a violation and another simply say there was no violation and continue in the same direction.

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. You tell me what it was - I think it depends on which bench you occupied.

My thoughts exactly.
