I belive that 99% of the time, I will go with the spirit of the rule and have a slow whistle should a "star" player be in foul trouble or report the foul on someone in the vicinity (post play) rather than have the "star" player sit on the bench.
You'd give the foul to someone "in the vicinity" rather than give it to the player that actually committed the foul? Just to keep a "star" player in the game?

I give up. I don't even wanna argue with someone that would do something like that. Or referee with them.
