In principle, I agree with Drake about double fouls. But everyone around here knows you dont use them much at all if you want to move up, because our assignor doesn't like them. So I've learned to manage without, pretty much the way others do. The trick is to get the first one, even if it's small. If they're bumping and grinding and not responding to your words, call the first little ticky-tack thing, since you know it's leading to worse every time. If they keep guarding each other, call it on the other person next time. If they get switched (smart coach), watch both pairs for a few trips to see how those match-ups work out. Talk, talk, talk to partner about what's happening. Clean it up in the first quarter. All of this assumes they're both guilty. Be very sure it's not the same person initiating everytime.
