It depends. Sometimes, they're good. Sometimes, they're an indication that someone is ball-watching.

If you have a double whistle on a hand-check clearly and well into one one official's primary, that is probably not a good double whistle.

If you have a double whistle on a rebound with lots of contact, that is OK.

If you have a double whistle on a play at the boundary of two primaries, that is fine too....better to have both briefly on-ball rather than neither on ball.

Unless the double whistle is an indicator of another problem, it is not a problem on its own.
