Multiple foul

[rockyroad]

I've seen it called once in my career. A1 driving to the basket late in a tie game. B Coach screams "Foul him!!" so B3 and B4 both reach in from either side and grab an arm to keep him from getting the shot off. T blows whistle and calls foul on B3 and L blows whistle and calls foul on B4 (two-whistle game). They went with the multiple. I thought it was a fantastic call at that point...B coach never said a word.

Btw - B3 is my son. Plays a lot like his dad (in other words, he sits on the bench a lot).

Airborne shooter B1 is fouled by A1 before releasing the ball for a 3-point try. After releasing the ball, B1 is fouled by A2 before B1 touches the the court. The try is unsuccessful.

Result: B1 is entitled to 6 free throws.

Incorrect: he gets 4 free throws...2 for each foul. (not that I'd ever call it.)

Remember this a false multiple foul. 2 free throws for a foul on an unsuccessful 3 point try does not apply. The penalty, as stated, is 3 free throws for each foul for a total of 6.
