I heard your assignor is good enough to read minds; even you thinking about such a thing is worth a phone call.

Sad, but true!!

And Saqs is making the same point I am. You have to choose. The criteria I choose to use may be different than Mark's or M$M's (God, I hope it is ), but that doesn't make me right and them wrong, or vice versa. But no way am I going with a multiple foul on this play!!

I don't necessarily disagree; I was commenting on jeffpea's statement about using that as a reason to not call it on the "star", or the player with 4 fouls. For me, most of the time, the choice is easy - call it on the player that fouled first. Sometimes, it can be on the player that fouled harder instead. Very rarely will it be purposely on the player that has the least amount of fouls, especially if the additional reason is it will keep the coach or fans from getting upset.

I call it on one or the other for many reasons...sometimes I call it on the player who has more hair (being tham I'm bald ).

If given an equal choice between two players and I know the foul count, I just might make use of that information....but, in some cases, I may not. It doesn't come down to one thing....I give it to the player that "deserves" it the most. And since they both fouled, I either must call a multiple foul (not likely to happen), or, in absence of any rule that tells us what to do instead of calling a multiple foul, I get to decide however I like. I might even call it on the player that reacts most to the whistle... Or, I might call it on the one who reacts least.

It really all depends on what i had for lunch that day.

A lot of times one of the players will raise his hand really quick. Usually an indication that his teammate is a star or is in foul trouble.

And all this time I thought you were just helping the environment by wearing solar panels on your head.

I thought he wore those at work to help make processors more green.
