Again, no choice but to call a double foul.

It's often dangerous to say "no choice" in these discussions, since we weren't there and can only go by someone's written description of a situation. If the fouling acts did indeed occur simultaneously, or even approximately at the same time, then I agree that the call should be a double foul. But again, IF an official is certain that one foul preceded the other, then the two officials DO have a choice, and would generally have a much easier "sell" to explain that one act occured BEFORE the other, making the second foul incidental contact. Having one call vs. a double foul would be more "acceptable" to most people involved in the game, even if one party felt it should have been the OTHER contact that was penalized.
