That said, when I have a situation where more than one player may be involved in a foul, I now can chose the player with greater skills (the "star"--the one with greater skills --the one I knew had 4 fouls) to stay in the game by seeing that player B (the one with less skills)probably had the first foul.
By so doing we help to ensure a better played game because the more skilled player is still in the game.

And exactly how do you figure that your action in keeping one team's "star" in the game is fair to the
other team?
Aren't we supposed to be "fair" both ways?
Jmo, but your "star" philosophy belongs in the NBA and nowhere else. [/B][/QUOTE]
JR,
editing my post eliminates the overall philosophy and puts a different twist on it. Question: have you ever called a multiple foul? Have you ever had one happen where you could have?
My use of this "call" has been used by me, I would guess, a very small handfull of times. It is not that often a possible multiple foul situation arises. Especially involving the scenario covered.
Maybe it only belongs in the NBA, I'm not sure if I agree but I also not sure I disagree. I'll mull that one over. Do I apply it evenly--to one team as another--of course.
