The shortest one, naturally. That's called the "Chuck Elias/RockyRoad Rule.
I was well aware that part of the penalty application wasn't covered in the rules. That doesn't change the
fact that the the FED does have a rule to cover the situation. By definition and rule, it's a false multiple foul. Note that "foul definitions" and their penalty applications are covered under separate rules.
Or do you dispute that the definition of a "false multiple foul" doesn't cover the situation being discussed?
Sooooooo, now it's up to you to use your vaunted, self-proclaimed magical Spidey powers with the NFHS Rules Committee to get the penalty phase covered. I await that happening with bated breath.
