Least called call

He then went up to shoot a layup and was clobbered, hammered to the floor. I felt the 2nd foul was too hard, unnecessary and I'm calling it. Originally, I thought multiple foul becasue the fouls where so close together in time. In the future, as i have stated, it will be a dead ball foul which is a technical, I don't care what JR says.

You should table your imagination. Now the story changes. Before, the player's "momentum" took him in for a layup. Now, he "dribbled" in for a layup.

Don't matter anyway. In your original post, you said you called a multiple foul. My point was that the play couldn't be a multiple foul by rule no matter what scenario you try to dream up now...or then. Yes, you can call an intentional technical foul in the play you described above, but that would be a different type of foul than a multiple foul.
