Of course. That particular play is covered specifically under NFHS rules 2-6 and 4-19-7(a).

The rules provide coverage for 2 fouls occuring at the same time. They do NOT however provide coverage for a violation and a foul occuring at the same time.

Any official with a little rules knowledge should come to the same conclusion without needing a case play.

It is a stretch to link 2-6 to this play. No one is recommending overruling or setting aside anything.

I think you mean 4-19-8a.

Why is it a stretch? That rule tells you that you can't set either foul call aside AFTER they're BOTH made. Isn't that contrary to what you're advocating?

And before we go down this road again, let me say I have no intention of revisiting any ground beyond this post.

2-6 doesn't say this at all.

Actually what it says is that one may not set aside a decision made by another.

It does not say that one official may not make a signal, then change his own call when he sees that his partner has something else, or for any other reason for that matter.

This happens quite frequently.
