A1 is the "star" player. They have 3 or 4 fouls. B1 comes driving through the lane. A1,A2 and A5 are all around the play. You see A1 slap the arm and A5 bumps B1 just afterwards. You come out and call the foul on A5.
To me this is different then Hawks scenario. If you are isolating and it is one on one, call it. If it is 5 it is 5. But if there is a crowd and you can chose, I am not sure that is favoritism. I think it falls under "game management".

Jmo,Fletch,but I think that you are WRONG,WRONG,WRONG!That's not game management,that's copping out on your duty as an official.A1 committed the first foul.That's what you should call.It's not our job to favor anybody on the court,and that's exactly what you're doing in this case.
