What's your call?

Without seeing the play I believe I have a foul on B with unfortunate incidental contact.

Thanks for the reply.

Now for the rest of the story.

The game had been very physical everytime someone came into the lane. When the Team A player spun in the lane with elbow extended, he catches the defensive player above the eye, causing it to explode. Blood everywhere.

You are caught by surprise! Do you then call the offensive player for a flagrant? Is this a false double foul since it happened bang-bang?

This happened in a game this past weekend.....

I'd like more input.... then I'll provide what happened.

This is indeed a false double foul and each foul carries it own penalty and are enforced in the order of occurrence.

Sounds like you may want to DQ that elbow thrower.
