You saw it that way. Others saw it that way. The IAABO Co-Coordinators of Interpreters saw it that way. 63% of IAABO members that commented on the video saw it that way.

I didn't and I was most likely wrong. But I'm allowed some poor judgment occasionally, as long as I don't make a habit out of it, and I still don't quite see White's very first passive arm bar contact as a "definitive" foul (but wouldn't have an issue with anybody calling it as such). But I do see them going at each other simultaneously in the split seconds later, thus my change to a double foul call, as did (only) 26% of my colleagues.

4-19-8: A double personal foul is a situation in which two opponents commit personal fouls against each other at approximately the same time.

Probably wouldn't be the worst call I made in the season. Hopefully so, but probably not.
