I still don't think I would go down that false double street...in your situation, how about just calling the player control foul??? Everyone could see the ball handler was out of control and "barrelling" in, so just ring him up...

I don't think the problem is when 1 guy calls 2 fouls, it's
when there's 2 whistles, the first on the defender
the second on the PC.

In this case, can't you, upon discussion with your partner, determine that the PC was a result of the initial foul on B1 and award the FT to A1 without going the false double foul route?

A1 drives the lane, goes up for a layup, arm contact by B1
TWEEEEEET!
A1 releases the ball, ball goes in, A1's contact with B2
leaves B2 a squishy blood stain on the court.
TWEEEEEET!

2 distinct whistles. Any coach worth his clipboard will
realize there were 2 distinct fouls. So, to answer your
question, we can & do discuss, it's just that you guys
pacing up & down the sideline make it tough for us to stick to our story!

I have always loved the fact that false fouls can be called anyway Only a rulebook writer could come up with something false that is also true. It depends upon what the definition of false is.

Sounds like you are drifting into a political discussion.
As a rule, I never discuss politics, just too controversial.
And I hate controversy.
