But is there any way to describe the play such that a ref could call a double foul by him or her self? I mean where half of the double is the PC. Can there be both a block and a charge at the same time?
Defender moves in late to try to take a charge (that's the blocking foul).

Dribbler fends off late arriving defender with a forearm and prevents him from moving to the spot (that's the PC).

It would be unusual for one official to see and call this a double foul.

What usually happens is that one official sees the arm, and one sees the defender move in late.
