Nah, M&M took care of that already.

This works in most cases; but not when B1 and B2 come in and foul an airborne shooter.

True. Even though I am sometimes on the side of just following what the book says, I have never seen this one called. What's most common, I find, is that B1 plays good defense, perhaps even blocks a shot, and B2 fouls the shooter. Then, B1 chirps at B2 for thwarting his efforts.

I wouldn't be afraid to call it; but I do not want to be the first one in my city to make this call.

I did this once in football. Another official said I made the wrong call. I asked a college crew chief his take, and he agreed with me. In the end, a million chinese won't care tomorrow.

The ONLY time I could imagine calling a multiple foul is if both/all fouls were intentional (excessive contact variety) or flagrant. I simply would not let such a foul go just because it would be part of a mulitple.

Did you know: if you're one in a million, there are 1500 people just like you in China?
