When both officials signal that prelim and they are different, it just seems to me that you have no choice but to call a double foul. If one official thought the other foul occurred first, he wouldn't have made the call that he did, now would he?
I think that Todd's point is that one ref could possibly see both "fouls", while the other saw only one. Each made the correct call from the perspective they had at the time. But the one who saw both is the only one who got it right. If one ref sees both actions and knows for a fact that the PC preceded the block, the ref who only saw the block should, upon discussion with his partner, be able to allow the partner to make the proper call - PC.
BTW, when the whistles occur should be irrelevant - the whistle is not the act, it is merely the notification that the act occurred. Regardless of the timing of the whistles, the refs must get the proper order of the actions that led to the whistles.
