Protect the *Star Player ???

And where in the rulebook does it say this is your job? Here's a thought - if you don't want to call the multiple foul, call the foul on the first player to foul.

If the fouls happen at exactly the same time, deciding to call the foul on the player with the lowest number, ridiculous as it sounds, is fairer than choosing the less skilled player, regardless of the number of fouls each player has at the time.

In HS and college, you should assume that each player has put in the same amount of effort and dedication as his teammates, and to show favoritism to one over the other because he is "more skilled" is flat out wrong. That should never be a factor in making a call of this nature.
