I actually have a similar story. A local jr. high had twin girls, who happened to be two of the "good" players on the team, #'s 24 and 42. Late in the game, the official charged a foul to 42, which was actually on 24. 42 was nowhere near the play. Just so happens it was the fifth foul on 42. After much discussion, the call stood. 24 actually picked up her 4th a little later, but went on to finish the game. I suspect the offended parties failed to mention this when they told the story later. The twins and their team hung on to win the game.

The kicker is that after the game the twins' father went to the opposing coach to complain. "Well, we won even though you cheated!"
