volcanos vs. asteroids: two catastrophies that taste great together?

Why can't both theories be right? I've been wondering this for a while, but this article doesn't even bring up the possibility. I mean, if a giant asteroid hits the planet, is too much to assume that it will deform the crust and place pressure on the mantle and possibly cause a spike in volcanic activity? India is pretty much on the other side of the planet from the Yucatan.
