Saying that if both players go down YOU MUST have a call, RIGHT or WRONG, is about as stupid a statement as one can make. I should know, I make stupid statements all the time.
There are times when contact is minimal and the defense flops and the offense might just land awkward, or trip or even try and flop themselves. If you and I were doing a game and you make that statement I would tell you that if you are going to blow a whistle based solely on some hypothetical absolute and fabricate a call, that may or may not exist, I would tell you that don't be prepared for me to defend you to the coaches.
Now if you tell me that in instances where we have multiple bodies hitting the ground we should make sure that we get a good look and if the contact appears severe that we not set a precedent and pass on this play, that's something else. But saying we must always have a foul called when multiple bodies hit the ground only lets me know that you must have been to a couple camps this summer and heard a few counselors and vets say this and you implied it to be an absolute.
