Don't blow a cork Neva. I wouldn't call it that way (though by the book) either. Would anyone? It seems some things in the book ought to be deleted.
As a "good rules guy" you know it's true don't ya Jurrasic? And this is not the only one we NEVER will call. For instance, When is the last time anyone called a False Double Foul? And there's much more we don't call that we have rules support for. Some things should be deleted, some should be CALLED!
Point is, "How do we maintain integrity when we know what the rules say but don't make the calls". I'm seriously looking for some insight here. It's obvious you can't adher to the "letter of the law" and judgement is of utmost importance but how does one know where to draw the line?

We should never delete the multiple foul. Although it will only be called once in 100 officials lifetimes, it is there for a reason. Taken out, it would give A2 free reign to commit a foul once it was clear that A1 was going to foul. Can't have that.
False double foul. Several time a year...perhaps even a few time a game some nights. A false double foul in merely two fouls that occur against opposite teams without time running off the clock. Example: A1 fouls B1. While B1 is shooting 1+1, B2, trying to get to the rebound, fouls A2 (before the ball is touched). That is a false double foul. It's there to clarify that even those they happened at the same "clock time" they are not a double foul.
