I had this play in a Rec game (8th grade boys) in my first year officiating. Team A was down by 3 points at the end of the game. Its best shooter attempts a 3-point shot as the clock runs out and two defenders foul him at the same time. I called only one foul, the kid missed one of the foul shots and the game ended.

I've had once in my career a false double where I called both fouls.
Shooter goes up for the layup, get whacked on the arm. Tweet. Only problem is that B had roots and A hits B square on the torso. Called that one too.
I'd call it again, especially if the opposing player didn't obtain LGP. This is a particularly more dangerous play than a smack across the arm, as it affects how a person lands after being airborne.
Two defenders fouled the same guy at the same time? I might pass on one of the fouls if the contact was slight. But if both whacked him good - 2 fouls it is!
