In the same sense, if high school or NCAA men's officials get together on "blarge" and try to determine which foul (block or charge) occurs first, are they misapplying the rules because BY RULE it should be called a double foul?

They apply the rule based on interpretation. The Women's side decided to handle the situation differently. It is that simple. Do not make this too complicated.

I just don't understand and know why they should be called any different (regardless of NFHS, college men or womens). I wish I can find a case play in the 2008 NCAA Men's and women's rulebook but can't. Could someone enlighten me and direct me case plays in the previous NCAA rule book?

Thanks

It really does not matter what you or I think. The governing bodies have the right to do what they want and apply rules the way they want to. Whether you or I agree with it is not the issue at all. And you are not going to find rulings in the rulebook anymore for the NCAA, they created a casebook. They took all the accepted rulings out of the rulebook.
