M&M is a smart fella. Also, he's intelligent too.

He probably hasn't called a multiple foul, either. If two guys foul a shooter at the 'same time', does the shooter get 4 shots if he missed the shot?

Foul trouble wasn't a problem of mine.

I can tell you one thing, I am not going to try to explain it to any coach (you will have to explain this BTW).

Peace

True.

I probably haven't called this because I didn't know the answer. I looked it up, and it's actually on one of the last pages - 10-6-6: One FT for each foul, on a successful or unsuccessful 2-point try. So, what would really make things interesting is trying to explain to B's coach why, after B1 and B2 foul on a successful try, the basket counts AND A1 is going to shoot 2 FT's.

I hope I never see two guys simultaneously clobber, I mean foul, a shooter on a 3 point attempt.

And especially 2 guys who each have 4 fouls.

Methinks the total number of FT's will be more than what we've discussed.

Well, I wish I was as smart on my NCAA predictions as I was on my prediction about this thread...

Thanks for all the feedback. From some of the threads posted, it seems I made a good decision in calling the foul on the player who had more impact on the shot. I understand that it is difficult to determine simultaneous action. At this point in my short career (2 years), I did not process the points of game management as posted here in regards to: best player, most fouls, game impact, I just called a foul and tried to make the best decision as I saw it. Experience does play an important part in calling a game, as I have learned from many of you. I want to be able to call a fair game. Being fair to the players for the good play as well as violations they commit. I philosophically have a problem with picking and choosing a violation based on athletic ability. I try to be unbiased. Yes, I understand some of the game management issues, jeff... is referring to, which makes sense as he had addressed it from his years of experience, but I would have a tough time calling a violation based on player impact on the game. I appreciate everyone's input.

Guys - the obvious answer is to call it on the player who didn't buy foul insurance. If they both bought it, call in on the kid with the highest deductible.
