I had an evaluator at camp recommend a philosophy which I'm going to try this year. He said, when it's the same two players at both ends play after play, call on team A when they're on defense, then next trip team B defense.[Edited by rainmaker on Nov 14th, 2002 at 10:51 AM]

If they arrive together, and the contact is initiated by both (your words) why not just call the double foul in the first place! The more times I read this, the angrier it makes me. Maybe my talented player and the opponents' thug are getting into it. Hang three (THREE!) on both of them and we lose. Call what you see. Don't be afraid to call something because "that's not how it's done", like a double foul. Besides, the double foul sends that message (this type of post play will not be tolerated) right away. Forget the cute mnemonics (D, D, O, O, double) and call what you see.

I agree. A double foul is a double foul. They happen.
Call it. And it works, no need for that "I got one for you
here and you're gonna get one down there" stuff. It's like
giving a good hard yank on a puppy's choke collar. Gets
his attention right away.
