I'm beginning to like a personal double foul more and more every time I watch the video.

I saw the video and know what I am looking for. I break down a lot of video, more than most. I see the action by the white player first. The blue player sticks his arm out for sure, but the white player starts the sequence by trying to swim the player. Again that is what I see and it is again a "fool the referee" type play. Touching is not a foul. It is displacing or holding or directing an opponent on some level. That did not take place IMO and I do not like the position to call a double foul here. Get the first action.

Peace
