Multiple foul?

[jritchie]

I know a multiple foul is called when 2 players foul a player at the same time. When it's a 2 point shot and the fouls are called and the basket doesn't go in the player gets one shot per foul, for still a 2 shot penalty.
What would be the free throws of a multiple foul that would be called on say a 3 point shot that doesn't go in? and then a multiple foul on a 3 pt shot that does go in? Just wondering! Never seen it happen, for that matter, I've never seen a multiple foul called either!

Straight from the summary of penalties:

Multiple Foul:
(a) One free throw for each foul:

(1) No try involved.
(2) Successful or unsuccessful two-point try or tap.
(3) Successful three-point try or tap.

(b) Two free throws for each foul:

(1) Intentional or flagrant foul.
(2) Unsuccessful three-point try or tap.
Plus ball for throw-in if intentional or flagrant.

Great answer. Seemed to be right on the tip of your tongue. How many multiple fouls have you called recently?

For me, it seems that whenever a situation arises where there might be a multiple foul, one foul always occurs a few fractions of a second before the other one.

By rule, this doesn't really matter. 4-4-11 uses the phrase "at approximately the same time." Also, in the case of a shooter, the most common time a multiple foul would occur, the first foul would not cause the ball to become dead.

Not that I've ever called a multiple....

Thanks for the citation. Let me fix my recent post:

I've been doing this for twenty-seven years, never called a multiple foul, never had a partner call a multiple foul, never saw a multiple foul called in a game. I've officiated over 700 high school games, as well as a ton of middle school, travel, recreation games, etc, and I've watched a lot of games both before, and after, my games. Why do you think it is that I've never seen a multiple foul called?

Still irrelevant.....approximately is not confined to a specific time frame.

Not becasue they don't happen but becasue we choose to call only one. I've seen what technically qualifies as a multiple foul several times...even several times in one game. Have I ever called one? No.
