BRF 12 Penalties for fouls are administered . . .

[Rob1968]

JRut, I called the foul on the shooter's defender, and my partner called the double. I know such scenarios are rare, i"m deep into studying the Part 1 Test, helping other officials put the written word of the test into mental images. It's that time of the season for me. Soon, the cause of my semi-psychosis will be past.
My first HS Mens' game is Tuesday. Although I don't get nervous, I am joyfully anxious. The games are my reward for all the workouts, and mental workouts, studying the rules, and mentoring younger officials. I know I'm gonna smile all game long!

Bob, thanks for your response.

The reason I asked the question is if this happened, could the double foul been ignored or was it necessary to be called. For one I am not a fan of double fouls in most cases because usually something happened first. I am just wondering if you or others that come up with these scenarios are not trying to over-think the rule rather than thinking of what is realistic in the game of basketball.

JRut,
Your question was legit, especially this time of the season, when I'm taking a lot of phone calls and emails regarding the Part 1 test. And we're getting acquainted with the new officials in our assn. But, most of their questions are regarding the minutia of rules that are fairly simple to explain.
Usually, once a season, I present the 20 "Basketball Rules Fundamentals", which seems to answer a lot of those questions, and redirects the study towards more pertinent subjects. Because of the application of POI, no. 12 is no longer true - as an absolute. Thinking of the situation that I quoted, and the application of POI, as if the double foul had not occurred, maybe no. 12 should have the added word "usually."
Incidentally, the scenario I mentioned happened last season or the season before. As I recall, we didn't handle it with the correct POI, but shot the two free throws, with the lane cleared, and then went to the arrow.
I agree that if possible, I try to avoid double fouls. The game involved was very rough and I had discussed with my partner that we needed to get the players to quit the extremes - battling each other, rather than playing the game. His call, from L, was two opponents really giving it to each other, after the shot went up.
