I think the NBA does allow for the "Difference of Opinion Between Officials". Charge both fouls and administer a jump ball between any two players in the game in the free throw jump circle.

Difference of opinions in the NBA is used on things like out of bounds plays when one points one way and the other points the opposite. At that time they will call a jump ball and jump it at half court, not the nearest free throw lane.

Good catch on both points. I knew I was right about the blarge situation, but I forgot about the out of bounds situation. Although I saw this administered in the free throw jump circle in a WNBA game once. But the NBA case book does say to do it at center court.
