First, I just dont believe that two fouls on the floor happened exactly the same time. The likely hood that in this cosmos that these two happened at the exact same time is akin to me winning the Maga Lottery- winning the 355 million dollars and treating all the long time members to a staek dinner.
Each carries its own penalty,( if it were a pure multiple foul it is easy as the book is clear on how to handle those)
I think you still have to determine which happened first, since "Penalties for fouls are administered in the order in which the fouls occurred.+ (8-7)
So lets play out a couple of scenarios:
1) If the rebound foul happens first (although I really question how a rebound foul happens first before a foul is shot) and there is no 1+1
-Penalty for rebound foul is OOB
-Penalty for shooting foul is 1/2/3 shots
In this case the team loses the penalty for the rebound foul and the offense shoots 1/2/3 shots and we play on.
(My personal comment is if we have this one in my game we will most likely decide that the rebounding/jostling foul happened before the shooter was in the act of shooting and just go with the rebound foul and call it good)
2) Rebound foul happens first and there is a 1+1 situation and shooter is in act of shooting and fouled
- rebound foul is 1+1 with lane cleared
- shooting foul is 1/2/3 shots and play on.
-Shoot 2 shots and A gets ball back because you have to whack the coach because we are shooting 1+1, awarding Team A 3 points on the made shot and awarding a another FT for the foul (potential 5-6 point play)
-Your partner whacks the coach cause he's pissed now and you now have another two shots
3) Shooting foul happens first and no 1+1
-Shoot 1/2/3 shots with lane cleared
-Team gets ball back for rebound foul
-Shoot 2 shots and A gets ball back because you have to whack the coach because it is a potential 5-6 point play
-Your partner whacks the coach cause he's pissed now and you now have another two shots
4) Shooting foul first and team is in 1+1
-Shoot 1/2/3 for the shooting foul
-Shoot 1+1 for the rebound foul
-Shoot 2 shots and A gets ball back because you have to whack the coach because it is a potential 5-6 point play.
-Your partner whacks the coach cause he's pissed now and you now have another two shots
The rebound foul has got to be pretty hard here for me to go to this one as well...
Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor and getting together and discussing this wil solve lots of problems... Unless for sure the videotape is going to show the rebound jostling happened during the act of shooting I think my error would be call the off ball call and kill the play.
