Point is, you need to discuss how you will handle them and don't prelim right away. I work with regular P so we give up to person who is PCA as a general rule but have exceptions like when 1 official has mad e the last several calls. If we believe we may have different calls, we will ask the other and get the "nod". Either way, pregame how you are going to handle double whistles because they happen and are not a bad thing; it's how they are handled that is important.

No traction at all to move to 3-person?
I haven't worked a 2-person game in 3 years now. If they ever went back, I'd retire. 30 years in...any more is gravy.
More double whistles in 2-person.
In 3 I generally like to give the primary official the first crack and hild my whistle an extra beat. If he hits it, I don't. If he doesn't, I come and get it.
