We do not use a mechanics book. And this is not about what is in a book. This is about a procedure or expectation. I know I follow procedures in the pre-game that are never in the book. If you and another official have a conflict it is expected the referee is not going to allow them to screw it up or to have some administrative issue. If you guys want to go with a double foul and there is not a double foul, I would do everything to prevent that from happening. And if I did not do that, the assignor might want to know why I let that happen or what I was doing to prevent it. This is not about a book or the rules, but I would not allow you to call a double foul on a non-block/charge play and not have some say as to how it did not fit the current interpretations.
