Tracking fouls?

That means both B1 and B2 are charged with a foul. Now who makes THAT call?

The official that makes the call makes that decision.

I think this happens often. I'll describe it a little different and you see if I'm being fair to the text. A-1 goes up for a shot and is fouled by B-1. He is then fouled by B-2 who move into his landing area while A-1 was in the air. We'll usually call the 1st foul. I have yet to see both fouls called.
Replay - Same play but B-2 has legal guarding position. The shot goes in the basket. (I could make it even uglier by adding that A-3 or B-3 goaltends but that's kind of rediculous - though possible) 1st give your split second answer as though it just happened to you. 2nd think about it and then give your answer. Now read 4.19.6 case. This is the proper call.
Because I've studied this I think I could make the call (provided I review it occassionaly) but I haven't yet and wonder if I should! What do you think?

Of course you could call a false double foul or a play like you have described. My question to you is why would you want to make that call? These types of fouls are not called because mostly what they are not going to be understood or accepted. Even when officials screw up and one calls a block, the other calls a charge (PC Foul) and the officials do the right thing and apply the rules as stated (going with a double foul) it is not believed. If you call a false double foul, someone is going to question that call and assignors and evaluators are going to wonder why as well. If you want to go looking for crap, you will find it. I would leave the crap in the toilet (sorry for the image) and call the things that are most likely to be believed and accepted.
