three fouls, two whistles

Had this one in a mens league game the other night:

Player from team A attempts shot, misses, crashes the offensive boards and creams player from team B. As lead, I whistle the foul but hear my partner's whistle a split second before mine. He has an away from the ball double foul on a couple of guys who just got tangled up. We agree that his whistle came first so we go to AP arrow for the double foul. Team A gets possession and team B is upset that team A gets to keep the ball even though I had the foul on the rebound. Anyone had something like this before? Done anything differently?

This is not a double foul.

Once you've decided that your partner had the first whistle
your foul no longer happened because it was during a dead ball. In rare cases your foul might count, but only if
it was excessive or flagrant, then you would have a
false double foul, the second one being a T during the dead
ball. Of course, you would only really want to go with
this if the second foul was a big one & there was a
reasonable amount of time between the first & second
whistle.
