Double whistles

How do you handle the drive into the lane with a foul on attempt. You see more double whistles on this. Who should make this call and on double we hold our signals until we make eye contact trying to avoid the charge-block call.
Just wondering how the rest handle this. Thanks.

How to handle this is always part of my pre-game. Keep in mind, Washington is a two-person crew state so this applies to my "two officials" pregame. If we each have a fist, trail yields to the lead (since that's who the play was coming to). If we don't have the same thing (one has on open hand and the other has a fist or the whistles were not totally simultaneous), we're going to come together and very quickly and decisively decide which came first.
