That is a simultanious foul not a double foul.

If 33 green pushed 15 white into 12 green, that is a foul on 33, nothing more.

And the other official saw G33 push W15 at the same time that W15 pushed G12 which makes it s simultanious foul.

But in my original post I said that my co-official did not acknowledge that she saw 33 push 15 first. She only said that she saw 15 push 12. I understand the simultaneous foul though. Thank you for the clarification. That foul is called so infrequently that I don't think about it sometimes. This was one of those instances.

I have had the opportunity to think about this more over the past couple days and what I realize is that I should have been more emphatic about an appropriate pre-game. I also should also have been more understanding of the fact that she did not have a lot of experience. Rainmaker, thank you for your response.

Hope everyone enjoys the SUPER BOWL!!
