Dead ball fouls

[Blue37]

The original post talked about two personal fouls. A later post referred to two flags. Let me give two situations:

There is a big pile and two players come out pushing and shoving. You adjudge the contact to be a personal foul on both players. Do you throw two flags?

Two players are nose-to-nose at the end of the play. As you move to seperate them, A commits a personal foul and B retaliates. Do you throw two flags?

Great questions. I'm not sure if there is anything in the mechanics manual that speaks to this. I doubt it would be covered in the rule book. I had one a couple weeks ago where the retaliation was after I threw my first flag so I had a second one. Not sure what I would do if they were that close together.

If they are that close together, I wouldn't worry about 2 flags, just getting it right.

Also, if you have and USC fouls make sure you record the numbers of the players because the 2nd one on anyone is ejection. I have a spot on my game card for USC players.
