Maybe I am missing something here so help me out.
First, If the "philosophy" davidw is perpetuating is if two players of team A foul a B player at nearly the same time the we should call the foul on the player with less fouls to keep "the star" player in the game then I have to agree with JR and others that even the slightest hint I favor star players in administering the rules of the game nullifies my integrity as being an unbiased observer of the game.
As JR said, just call the foul on the player who fouled FIRST. If it is a 5th foul on a star player then so be it.
Secondly, I can not see how multiple foul in the above situation benefits a player with four fouls. BOTH would be charged with a personal foul. And to make matters worse if both players had 4 fouls BOTH would foul out.
