I agree with the approach of referring the double whistle to the primary. I am guessing here, due to lack of experience, but I would suspect this would happen more often on lower level games, especially if one official is not calling violations and the other feels the need to expand his coverage.... Otherwise I would like to think we are watching different things and both would not have necessarily seen the Blarge. On 3 man, I could see a greater potential for this without good communication. Again a good learning topic.

It just depends. It certainly happenes at the upper levels. All different situations cause it to happen: close game, caught up in the play and try to sell the call; partner calling out of their area, or whatever. Fact is, it happens, best way to avoid it is a good pre-game addressing the blarge.
