2. Don't be afraid to ask for it - if the ball comes from a partner's primary and you're doing your job of officiating hard in your primary, then you won't always (and shouldn't, many times) have any idea who caused the ball to go OOB.

However it is completely dependant on the situation, they are all different.
stop the clock ask for help and get it right. That is the most important thing.

They come in bunches with me too, as do many others things. There was a thread a bit back about double fouls. Not 2 days after that thread, I had a DF. Then, I called another one this past Saturday night in a V tournament final.

Play: I'm L, and big man A1 in the post closest to me pivots and plants his elbow into B2's chest. But B1 had reached in and ending up grabbing A1's other arm. I saw both happen, and honestly couldn't tell you which "happened first", as they were that close to each other along the timeline. So I went with another double foul. Not one DF since I can remember and two in the past 2 weeks.
