Double Foul

[Freddy]

I agree with a previous comment. Though used sparingly, calling a justified double foul is an effective tool to quell a brewing situation.

If you have two fouls but don't call a double foul, what's the alternative? A personal and a technical? Ignore the second due to the dead ball unless flagrant?

An alternative is to call a regular personal foul on one of the knuckleheads, and make it clear to them both that the next one will be on the other knucklehead. I've used that approach before too, and it's been effective for me.
