Here is a situation that I had in aa AAU game last night.....I have never, in 15 years, had a mess as bad as this one, but I believe we had a "false multiple foul". (I have also managed to avoid any situation that would include the word "false"!!)I'm trying to figure out if we administered it correctly.

B2 intentionally fouls A2 while setting a screen. R makes the call.
B2 walks away, and, as he does so, mouths off to A3. R calls an unsportsman-like "T".
A2 then runs across the court and shoves B2 in the back. U calls a flagrant "T".
A6 then comes onto the court from the bench to add a little spice. R calls this "T". (since there was no fight, this was not deemed "flagrant")

Here is how we broke down the administration:

1) None of these fouls were simultaneous, and all of the "T's" were during the same dead ball period, hence the "false multiple foul" identity. (excluding the first intentional foul);
2) Because of this, we assessed each foul with it's own penalty in order of occurance (2 shots for the intentional then 2 shots for each of the 3 technicals);
3) Put the ball back in play via alternating possession.

Does this sound correct to you??

Well, that's a tough one.

There were two or more fouls by the same team and also fouls by both teams. Each occured one after the other...not approximately the same time. There was one occurance of players fouling each other but at different times. Even the intention was at the same time/same dead ball since it actually was the beginning of the dead ball.

So, it is both a false double foul and a false multiple foul.

Penalty, one at a time in the order of occurance.

A2's sub shoots 2 for B2's intentional foul.
Any A plyaer shoots 2 for B2's T.
Any B player shoots 2 for A2's T.
Any B player shoots 2 for A6's T.
B gets the ball as part of the last foul penalty.

So, regardless of what you call it all, you enforced it nearly right...all except for the possession at the end.
