Right, so what? Even if this were a legitimate double foul, which it isn't, the crowd will automatically assume one of us is wrong.

If one officials over rules the other or vice versa then what does that say about us?

It is undeniable that one may not overrule the other, (2-6) but I see no reason the partners may not confer in this situation like any other.

If we penalize both where is the disadvantage??

Obviously, the player who is charged with a foul but did not actually commit one is put at a disadvantage.

So in the sense by us making a mistake and giving our signals early we created a camel so we should resolve it by penalizing BOTH.......

It is better to penalize both teams, one of whom is not guilty, than to discard one call, and try to go with the correct one?
