Not popular, but the right call. The lead official never even thought about making any kind of eye contact before he came charging from the lead position with the player control foul. TV did not give as good as a look to the "C".
To rookies and vets, don't forget this. Once a little experience is under your belt, it takes only a fraction of a second to look up and make a decision on your call. The lead got caught up in this case and "forgot" to look up when he made the call.
I hated the double foul, but it was the ONLY thing you can do in this situation. I've seen it only 2 or 3 times in 12 years of officiating.
(looked like a block all the way to me.....on the replay)
