Agree with all of this. No prelim signals = great to talk over with your partner(s) to figure out what happened first, or whether the push wasn’t really a foul worth calling.

But what if there were two distinct and robust preliminary signals here (one for a push, one for a PC)? If this were a blarge scenario, the case books for NFHS and NCAA-M basically say you have to go with a double foul. So by extension, in this scenario, would you have to go with a simultaneous foul?
