Multiple Foul Scenario

For newer officials, I would take BigCat's advice. Recommended never making a multiple foul call by yourself. Explaining the penalty sequence to an incredulous coach could kill your career even if you're right. Just pick one of the two and enforce it; if one is int/flag, go with that, otherwise either pick the harder contact or perhaps the player with less fouls thus far (this is called game awareness and game management).

Knowing the rule is good for three reasons:

1. Post-game bar trivia.
2. Because some genius always thinks it makes for a good test question.
3. That "as often as the Cubs win the Pennant" moment when there's a double whistle and somehow you and your partner both report a different foul to the table without realizing the other is reporting something...and now you both have something.
