Sorry, I should have completed my thought. Foul on Off. player, counts toward the team total. and they loose the ball if the arrow points to the Def. Five or six years ago I had this in a close HS game. I concluded two things; 1) get the 1st foul. 2) don't call a double foul except in T-foul situations.

One could make the same argument from the other side. If the arrow points to the offense, the defense is penalized twice. In other words, it's about as fair a way to resolve that issue as there is. I suppose you could flip a coin. You could make a similar argument for a held ball. The defender makes a good play and half the time the offense gets to keep the ball. Tough luck. I have never called a double foul, but I think I should have in certain situations and I think I will before I'm done.
