The thing is that there are times where there isn't a first foul...most of the double fouls I have called have been where the two players are both moving to a spot, neither is there first, neither is entitled to it yet and bam they hit, usually at this point they will separate on their own or I'll say something like, "Easy, " but occasionally the sumo match will begin and they will bang each other again.
That is the time to call one. If you know two players are going to screw up the game...and we all have had them...again a double is a great tool because A) it shows them you are watching and B) it puts both one foul closer to the bench, that much sooner. |

If all your years of officiating (and I know you referee a lot), you have never had a situation where a double foul was the right thing to do? Do you have these hawk eyes that can tell that one foul happened so little before another? I think it's a cop out to not call a double when it's time for one. Learn when to use it, then use it. The players will adapt - both of them!

Did you read this statement? Apparently not. Also not sure what eagle eyes have to do with being able to concentrate on two players that are obviously fighting for position. I happen to work two games this past weekend where I had two 7 footers on the floor playing against each other. Not sure how bad your eye sight is, but it is easy to see two big guys like that as well as the many others that were 6'7 and above this entire weekend. Quote:

There are a number of different issues here.
First of all, I think we all need to keep respecting the differences in our various associations and affiliations. The OP asked a question, then got several different answers some of whom specified a variety of authorities. If the OP will specify their affiliation, we can start to narrow down what would be an appropriate answer. Was the game FIBA? NFHS? NCAA-W or NCAA-M? Okay, there aren't a lot of different issues, just the one. |

Whenever an interesting sitch is posted the first thing I think is "hmmm....how does that apply to the universe *I* live in?" After I figure that my next thought is "what's for lunch?". I'm really not that interested in helping the poster figure out his own particular universe. I know, I'm an incurious non-inclusive trog who refuses to accept the differences between us... :shrug:
