Double contact on 1 hit

We have all seen on the 1st ball over the net a Hand/Hand, Arm/Arm and Arm/Chest double contact as legal contact. I observed a Chest/Arm double contact that WAS NOT a Lift. The official ruled 2-Hits.
Does hitting the Chest 1st negate any chance that a double contact can be valid?

Imo

The play that you saw was ruled incorrectly, IMO. Rule 9-4-8b says that multiple contacts by a single player on the first hit are legal.

Can't say without seeing video. It's possible that the first attempt resulted in the ball hitting the chest and the player made a separate attempt that was hit with the arm. That would be two hits.

The play was NOT 2 separate attempts. When we discussed the play, he ruled the play from the chest eliminated the chance of a legal double contact play

That ruling is incorrect.

I'd be real interested in hearing the rationale for that ruling. . .

I respectively disagreed with him. He could not find anything in the Rules Book to support his claim. I was not about to debate with him, it was not going to change his opinion.
Thus I brought the post to this site.
Everybody, thanks for your replies

That's one of the ways we learn the rules. I know I've learned my share only after kicking the ruling.
