Look, blindzebra's exactly right. If I have two players who contact the shooter, and I can remember that B1 has 3 fouls, but B2 doesn't have any, then I give the foul to B2.
I think the "Taking one for the team" philosophy should be
used in HS, but not the same way it is applied in the NBA, where amount of contact and star versus role player enter the mix.

I will call the foul on the player with fewer fouls when the contact occurs at ABOUT the same time and the amount of contact is ABOUT the same.

I think that I understand now. In HS, you should always give the foul to the player with fewer fouls. It doesn't matter that that player might be the star(and the only good player on that team), and the other player might be Sammy Scrub who's just on for his usual 2 minutes per game. The star is gonna get the foul because he's got fewer fouls.

We do agree that this is really different than the "pro philosophy", don't we? Or do we?
