Jacoby-like paradox?

Is the following scenario possible? The cube is either in the center or owned by my opponent. I have two ways to play my roll, Play A and Play B. Play A gets me (correctly) doubled, while Play B does not. Nevertheless, Play A is correct and Play B is incorrect.

Situations where Play B leaves my opponent too good to double don't count.
