OK- Here's an idea I had after a terrible situation last night. As usual, I was doing my set of intramural games at USC, Thursday night is fraternity night, so the place goes wild. This is varisty caliber basketball, if not higher. Had to clear fans out earlier in the game for a bench-clearing brawl-that's another story. End of game, team A down by 1 with about 5 seconds. I'm trail, A1 drives towards B1-as A1 slightly lowers his shoulder to get around, B1 (who I thought was in legal guarding position) laterally shifted, causing A1 to trip over B1's foot. What did I call, you ask? I froze, and swallowed my whistle. Don't come down on me so hard! I know I blew it, but could I have called a double-foul in this situation to bail myself out, since there was no real was to determine which happened first?
