I said that it would cover both situations, but I really couldn't see where it covered anything else.

How I am reading & understanding the case play, it's a JIC CYB.

I personally think the idea that it was written for either situation is silly. There's no way they'd write a case play to deal with obstinant officials that doesn't tell them to figure out it. And again, the fact that the opinion is virtually unanimous is really all I need to know.
If it wasn't the intent, then the committee would have re-worded it in light of the unanimous interpretation of the case play.

I agree. But I find it even more silly to require both fouls to be reported because of shoddy mechanics by the officials. This is especially true when, by definition, it is impossible that both calls are correct.

This is where you have the whole thing wrong. It had nothing to do with shoddy mechanics. It is a matter two equally empowered officials having a different opinion of the same situation and both of them having communicated their opinion. Good mechanics just cover up that difference of opinion. It doesn't actually make the call results the correct call.

This, too, is incorrect. A double foul is not impossible, so why not one where the offensive player happens to have the ball? (Or: show me which definition defines away a blarge.)

Not impossible, just highly unlikely.

If good mechanics cover it up, why would the mechanics which exposed it not be considered shoddy?

4-7 Blocking/Charging How is it possible for both to happen at the same time?

B1 moves into A1's path without establishing LGP, and A1 shoves him in the chest as they collide.

I'm not saying this should be called a double foul. I'm saying it's not impossible by rule.

A block/charge/blarge is one point of contact that is viewed differently by two officials. What you're describing is two independent points of contact....not two opinions of the same contact. That is two different fouls....either a true double foul, or one foul which preceded the other and made the ball dead.

Whatever. The double foul I'm describing might look like a charge to one official and a block to another.

Oh, and I'm delighted (and a little relieved) that you agree with me.

The play you describe could not, by definition, be both a block and a charge.

Let's just make the discussion easier for everyone. The first one to the table wins LMAO.
