I called a MF once when I was a smart-@$$ rookie who thought I knew the rulebook better than anyone else. Let's just say feedback from an evaluator after the game was....enlightening.

Reminds me of my early years - I think second or third - when I thought about calling a double foul in one of those case book "A1 is fouled by B1 in the act of shooting then displaces B2 who had legal guarding position" plays. I had just seen the play in the case book an hour before the game. I thought about the situation for a hot second and then said to myself, "Nah. I don't think this will end very well."

Yup. And yet the NFHS will have 4 questions about multiple fouls and false-double-anythings on the exams every freaking time.

The odds of me calling a multiple foul are similar to the odds of me walking on the moon.

Same here now that I learned my lesson.

I hate the unrealistic test questions, too. But, separate from that I've come to realize that understanding the administration of DFs and MFs is important in the unlikely event of blarges or perhaps two officials going to the table and reporting fouls on different players from the same team....without realizing they're both reporting something until it's too late.

To put it another way, would you ever call a MF by yourself? No. But if you unwittingly do it as a crew, there's a process for that so that you can at least avoid compounding crappy mechanics with improvised penalty administration.

I believe the penalty is I have to buy two round of beer for both of my partners.

I was working a first round boys playoff game a few weeks ago.

I called a blocking foul in the backcourt and the coach decided to tell me what he thought of the call. Of course, the throw-in was right at his bench (no way to do it elsewhere without making stuff up) and as he's talking and I'm trying to get the ball back in so I don't have to engage his foolishness as the game was already an ugly blowout. Then the opposing player said something to the coach about him being wrong. The coach said something back.

I told them both to knock it off. The coach had this look of "how dare a player talk to me" and I'm thinking "I agree with the player." Anyhow, at halftime, I said to my partners, "So, if I call a double technical there, how will it be enforced?"

Partner said, "By yourself. We both would've left." They would've had to steal my car. I drove.

I've called double technicals before. Everyone should know how to administer that. Very different from the play referenced above that is never called (and shouldn't be called).

Without looking, I believe it is 1 free throw for each foul.
