Thumbs down By rule only, but not a very common sense thing to do.

A1 dribbles toward lane and goes airborne and is fouled by B1 as he releases the ball. A1 comes down on top of B2 who has established legal guarding position. Ball goes in the hoop. How do you call this? What foul shots are awarded?
By rule this is a foul on B1 and a PC Foul on A1. This I believe is a false double foul and would be two shots for A1. The basket would not count for A if the ball went in, the ball would be dead. And this is a casebook interpretation on 4.19.6 Situation A.

Now I would hope that no one calls this. Consider the PC foul as a result of the actions by B1. This to me is like a multiple foul. You could prove that you know the rule by calling it, but it will be a call that will be remembered by. And not always being "remembered" is a good thing. By rule this would be the "proper" call.

Peace
