The reference is 4.19.8 (not 6) in the new 2002-03 NFHS casebook, page 29.

This is a difficult one. I would likely see the PC foul coming and be preparing to make that call against the shooter and wave off the shot. With this anticipation, the interim foul on the shooter would confuse me. I might not blow my whistle on the first foul. If I did, I likely wouldn't think to blow it again (it is probably already out of my mouth). During the interim, having blown my whistle somewhere in this mess, comparing severity of the two fouls, I would likely decide which one I'm going to report. I'm not sure I like my thought process.

If the shooter is out of control and the intial foul is slight, I'm not going to protect the shooter. If the initial foul is significant, I'm going to call the shooting foul and likely not protect the valid defender.

Sounds like some of you would do the same. But i'm not sure I like it.

Anyone care to guide my thinking? Pregame me! Words of wisdom Dan_ref?
