First game, first questions

Second question: Two post players were getting pretty physical under the basket on both ends, while each team was running the offense. B had hold of A's arm and A was doing the "Shaq bump" to gain position on A. Didn't know who to call the foul on, so I didn't call. Is this a double foul or is it part of the game? No real advantage was gained, as both players were doing it. I did call other fouls on both throughout the night for blocking and holding.

Sleeper,

If you are uncomfortable with the contact, but you are not sure who went first, any call, or Ref speak, will clean it up.
If a player, or coach, complains on "who did what first", just tell 'em I'm getting the other guy/gal next.
And then look for it.

As you know, without some official intervention, the activitiy will escalate.
