Referee Magazine false double foul - April issue

[Mendy Trent]

Well this has certainly been an interesting thread to read, but I still don't see where my question has been answered much.

I know the rulings. I have just never seen situations where both fouls are called. When a player gets fouled while shooting and then crashes into someone, I have only seen the first foul called. I have never seen a charging foul called after the initial foul against the defense.

OK - here's an answer. Yeah - I've called it properly every time I've seen it - probably somewhere around 500 or 600 times. There was one 3rd grade girls game in which I called it 17 times against the same team, and that was just in the first quarter. After the fourth call, the coach blew up so I had him tarred and feathered, drawn and quartered, then run out of town on a rail. He was also suspended for a game, not that it mattered, since the body was never found.

I've never called it nor have I seen it called over the years I've officiated on the high school level. For that matter, I've never seen it called on any level that I can remember.

Well, yea, but he didn't have more people to control than a basketball game, until he was like 23 or 24. I mean, 20 IS just too young!!
