Tracking fouls?

1) Now this ought to stir things up some:
Nevada really blew the call when he said he had a choice when the multiple foul occurred. NFHS 4.19.10 Read rule and case.
Don't blow a cork Neva. I wouldn't call it that way (though by the book) either. Would anyone? It seems some things in the book ought to be deleted.

As a "good rules guy" you know it's true don't ya Jurrasic? And this is not the only one we NEVER will call.

2) For instance, When is the last time anyone called a False Double Foul?

1)From a practical standpoint, 99.9% of the time you do pick one of the 2 players who foul someone at approximately the same time and charge that player with the foul alone. I think that the multiple foul definition should remain in the book though-- to keep our options open if we ever feel 2 defenders deliberately went after an opponent. I've seen that happen, and properly called, a coupla times. It's a deterrent, and as such, is another weapon in our game-control arsenal.

2) False double fouls are fairly common, as Camron said also. They might not be recognized as such, but they are usually handled correctly--i.e.- in the order they occur in NFHS rules. One of the most common false double fouls is a common foul, followed by a retaliatory "T" on the foulee.
