Simultaneous Foul

A maybe simultaneous foul, a maybe close but not quite simultaneous foul.

You opt for the latter. It is a normal call. Peace and harmony reign in the universe. Nobody lost a championship over this decision.

You are beating yourself up over this?!?

Absolutely NOT beating myself up over this. Just cogitating the nature of the Absolute. Is it really the absolute rule to NEVER call a simultaneous foul? In this case, it would have come out much more equitable. Two fouls, one by each team, each team pays a little, each kid gets one more toward the total, neither coach understands, but they see that the other guy lost a little, so it's more or less okay. I'm definitely not saying I intend to start calling more of these. Just wondering about that particular one.

It's just a rumination.
