1) Question: have you ever called a multiple foul?
2) Have you ever had one happen where you could have?
[/B][/QUOTE]1) Nope, never called one. Saw one once about 40 years ago and I still remind that official about it. He'll die before he lives that one down. I might call a multiple foul though under certain circumstances. If I felt that 2 defenders were deliberately going after an opponent and they both nailed that opponent at approximately the same time, I might consider intentional or flagrant personal fouls on both of them. I've never had that occur though.
2) Yes, I've had occasions where a player going to the hoop got nailed by 2 defenders at approximately the same time. I just try to figure if one got there a tad earlier than the other one, or if there was possibly more contact involved with one of the fouls. Other than that, it's just a crapshoot. I just pick one and go.
