It was a relatively clean game (15 fouls in total), so I didn't see the point of getting both of them, particulary since the shooter is getting two free throws either way. Thoughts?
I think it's ok that the "multiple foul" went through your head - it shows that you understand what a multiple is.

Now, that you didn't actually call a multiple foul is even better. Pick one and move on. If the fouls are about the same in severity, pick the first. If they're not the same in severity, pick the more severe one (ruling the other as incidental).
