Double Fouls on Post Play

I have called one at one end and then called one at the other end the very next possession. Does that count? Is this a false double foul?

I bet it did the same job.
Now, ...was the second one a good one, cuz the player was stoopid, or was it marginal, cuz the ref was getting someone's attention ?

I have used Double Fouls occasionally (maybe once or twice a year) to clean up post play. It usually comes after lots of talk for me, and seems to be fairly effective.

1) Have any of you used this?
2) How early will you use it?
3) Has it ever backfired on you?

I look for rather than avoid them, especially in the low post when the contact is escalating too quickly. Otherwise I'll use it after a warning in the low post. The only time I encounter a problem with it is when we're away from the low post & I call one for a simultaneaous push/shove off a screen, for instance. Then I might get "you missed the first one" from a coach. Of course I never miss the first one!

Is that Coach speak for, "I saw it, too" ?
