False double foul

[Rita C]

This came up on another forum but is more appropriately discussed here.

I am new to reffing basketball this year.

Can anyone give an example of a false double foul and why the distinction? The example that Bob Jenkins gave on the other board sounded like just two separate fouls to me and I don't understand why the distinction.

Please give an example of false multiple foul.

Bob also said that a multiple foul is rarely called. Why is that?
