Mark,
I agree with you IF the fouling acts happened at the same time. But if the Trail (in this scenario) sees a push-off clearly (in his mind) before the blocking contact, then I see no reason not to go with the PC. That assumes, of course, that the Lead didn't see the pushing arm and concedes to his partner. The PC occured first, the block becomes "incidental", and an easier solution can be sold. As Rut described it, though, it may not have been possible to say that the push happened first, since it happened "just as the two players meet." In that case, the double foul sounds like the right call to me, given that both refs signaled differently.
