A1 is not in bonus so they will get the ball for a spot throw-in. However, I hear another whistle at the exact same time as mine coming from the C's area. The shot goes in.

I signal a three and count the shot and then run to the C. He says he has an off-ball foul on A2 while the shot was airborne. After a very quick conversation, we decide that his foul happened first. We count the three, he reports the foul on A2 and we give the ball to team B for a throw-in.

Just curious how many of you would have chosen the simultaneous foul and reported both fouls followed by POI?

Thanks in advance.
1. How did you decide which foul happened first since each of you were looking in a different area and couldn't possibly have seen both events?

2. Yep, simultaneous foul, penalize both players for their wrong-doing and resume the game at the POI.
