I simply do not believe that there is anything wrong with double whistles. Often they are very good because they show that you are watching the same thing. But in the lane double whistles are common.

What about triple whistles...had one in my game last night. Two of us had #10, one had a different foul on #33. The one with #33 yielded, not because he was outnumbered but because the other two of us had the best views (and before he even know we had different players). There were at least 3 possible players to call the foul on for the play....multiple defenders collapsed on a shooter in the lane from different directions.

Heres my impression of double whistles as a coach.
Scenario A: Double whistle, officials look at each other, one takes charge and makes a call, other official puts his hand down, nods, and administers then next play while "take charge official" reports the foul. I move on. Scenario B: Double whistle, officials look at each other, then they kinda shrug at each other, they may even have the same call but they don't know and they have a meeting to discuss what happened/whats next. I'm not only irritated but I have to wonder why someone cant just grab a pair and make a call. I don't care what is called normally, but I do care that someone knows what they saw and does so with authority, not because they drew the short straw. Scenario C: Double whistle, one official indicates a block immediately and other official indicates a charge immediately, they get together and decide one official had a better look and make a call. Again, if you make a call, stand by it. If you call a charge and he calls a block and you did so with such emphasis that you signaled immediately, then stand by it. Id rather see a double foul than have one official talk the other into backing off of whatever they think they clearly saw. |

In C, if one talks the other out of their call, they are not following the rules (NFHS or NCAA-M).

Hey Partner ...
"I got a good look at your held ball but I had a holding foul right before the held ball occurred".

Correct PDF File Link Now
To the extent that perhaps one or two might be interested, here's a PDF of the PowerPoint lesson our association trainer came up with. The perspectives of some of the responders to this thread contributed to some of the points he made.
Totally FYI. Feedback welcome, if any have any on anything. Correct Link to Double Whistle Lesson PDF

Do double whistles, to some coaches, have a sort of "confirmatory" effect? "Well, if they both saw it, it must have happened that way"? Or no? Or is that to general to deserve an answer one way or the other?

I Hate It When That Happens ...
Some (but not all) coaches are very observant. "Your partner had an open hand up for a violation, while you had your fist up for a foul".
