Regardless of the ways to prevent this from happening, it does happen. I have seen it personally happen three times this year to post-season officials. Once in a high school sub-state game, once in a Ju-co game and in the NCAA tournament I saw it happen in the first round. All three times you had two officials making opposite signals and not once was a double foul called. The primary official took the call from the other official in all three. I do not necessarily agree with the way they are handled, but it may be the quickest way to get going with the game with the least amount of controversy in a terrible situation.
