Multiple fouls

[Hawks Coach]

for correcting a long-held erroneous assumption. I must admit that I could not back my opinion up by rule or case.

That said. . . It seems bizarre that you oculd have a block and a "reach-in" occur at approximately the same time, they are the first two fouls of the half, and a ref somehow determines that this is a multiple foul and merits two FTs. Two very common occurrences, with nothing remarkable except that different players committed different offenses on the same player at abut the same time. It seems out of line with any other rule to award two FTs for this situation.

I can see multiple fouls coming into play on a flagrant or intentional situation, but only there. The other situation I outline I would hope would never be called. It is penalty well in excess of the violations.
