Remember the Iowa State NCAA tournament a couple of years back. A double whistle for the ages!!! The officials were right that night even though they didn't work another game after that. The signal at the time of a double whistle could kill ya!
I don't remember the play you're talking about. Would you refresh my memory?

Very late in the game, Iowa State on defense when (I think they were playing Michigan State) an opposing player drives the lane from Center side and there's a crash in the paint. Lead comes out hard banging his fists against his hips while the Center is signalling the other way due to player control. Iowa State down a couple of points and Coach believes they are about to get the ball. Officials get together, go with double foul call and go to arrow which gives Michigan State the ball. Iowa State coach goes bananas and ends up getting double T'd and tossed.
Which is a great reason to bring back the "jump ball". While early in the game a jump ball possession is not as meaningful, a last minute jump ball can be critical to the outcome. With the actual jump, neither side would be too bent out of shape. They may not like it but both teams still have shot at getting the ball.
