Double Hit or Not? You Make the Call.

I agree with this. Many people I know (myself included) call someone to watch our own shots when it is going to be close.

Sometimes the person you ask gets it wrong. It happens sometimes and it annoys me when the call is wrong, but I’d rather take the chance of a wrong call by a neutral party than have an argument or have my opponent think I cheated if I don’t call a ref and don’t think it’s a foul when my opponent does.

I don't think anybody disagrees. Only that the referee should have obvious/verifiable evidence.

I rather have a referee getting it wrong than starting a fight with some a-hole

I think that the best way to call this shot as a referee is not to rely just on eyesight but also listen to the shot, usually you will hear a double hit in such a situation.

Sound is not a reliable indicator of a double-hit foul. See the examples in the videos here:

I wouldn't trust a foul called on me with such "hearsay" evidence. I say no foul unless it's obvious, usually by the CB taking an obvious detour from its normal path. That should also limit it to fouls that matter.

At normal speed it looks OK.
At slow motion it looks like a double hit.
You don’t really get slow motion in real life unless it’s a major production and can’t really rely on smartphone footage at low light.

Ref can't interject on an impending foul, so how is he supposed to get ideal viewing?
