Had one of the officials yielded to the other, there would be no need for a double foul because there would be no blarge.
By the time they would "get together" it's generally too late, unless they've both "yielded". But if one yields right away, the other has the call. No getting together necessary. If neither yields and both go straight to the prelim, you have your blarge now. Too late, by rule, to yield.
