Boys JH rec ball, I was working the game alone and it was the 3rd quarter of a game still somewhat in doubt. Airborne A1 drives and is fouled in the act of shooting by B1 and then is blocked by B2 before returning to the floor. I immediately recognized this as the case play for a false multiple foul, but given the situation, I simply called the common foul on B1. Was this a good exercize of judgement in this game, or a cop out?

This isn't a false multiple foul. It's a multiple foul.
The play isn't dead until A1 returns to the floor. Since the block foul occurs before he returns to the floor, it's a multiple foul. If the contact occurs after he retruns to the floor, then it's nothing unless the contact is intentional or flagrant, because the airborne shooter has returned to the floor.
