Anything is better than having to call a double foul!

Even tagging the wrong player with the foul?

Camron,

Wrong player? You are going to tag both players with a foul...that is the alternative!

We tag the wrong player with a foul every time we report both a block and a PC foul. Can't be both, so one of them is wrong.

This is why you do everything in your power to not have this happen.

I agree 100%...and I have never had one yet. I had a close call last season as I was L and a secondary defender stepped under an airborne shooter - but I was soooo quick going to the table that my C never had a chance to signal PC like he was going to!

My post was just negating the argument of possibly tagging the wrong player for the foul. That argument doesn't hold water in this discussion.

Agreed

Like talk it over with your partner and decide on one call.

I guess, but a lot of time you do not have to have any words said. Much of the time there is a recognition of who has the call and that person goes with it. The other official drops out and we talk about it later in the locker room.

Compare the two situations....

One person really deserved the foul but you tag both....1 incorect...1 correct. It more-or-less comes out as a do-over except a couple fouls are put in the book.

One person really deserved the foul but you tag one....you have about a 50% chance of actually getting it right but if you don't you double penalize the one that actually gets the foul....they get the foul and the other player does not. Now you have a 2 foul differential in the books vs. what should have been....2 incorrect.

Given that these are very infrequent, I'd rather be half right every time than incorrectly and doubly penalize one team half the time.
