Multiple Foul

When is the last time anyone called, or saw called, a multiple foul, as in 4-19-11? (I don't mean April 19, last spring.) While I've always known this is in the books, I know I've never called one, been in a game where one was called, or watched a game where it happened. My apologies if this has been discussed recently, but if a guy is hammered by two opponents on the way to the hoop, isn't it prevalent just to choose which guy's gonna get the foul and go with it.

Yes.

My guess -- first they had double fouls. Then they had false double. Then they had false multiple. but, they couldn't have a "false" multiple if they didn't have a "multiple" so they added that.

Don't be the first to call it.

Never seen it called and there is probably a good reason I will never see it called.

Peace

The only time I could imagine one being called is if all the fouls involved were intentional or flagrant.....and that is not likely to happen.

OK then, but

Surely someone has called it, seen it? That Guy? Mr So and So?

I hope I never see it, and it pisses me off I know the rules associated with it. Seems like a waste of my limited capacity.

Never seen it called and never heard anyone call it.

We've all been one or both of those guys at one point or another. Most of us only recognize the "other" guy.

I actually saw a "true" multiple foul...years ago.

A1 was setting up to shoot, at the top of the key...B1 and B2 ran at A1, to defend the shot. B1 and B2, both, ran into A1 at the same time.

I saw it...I blew my whistle...I thought ("I know this deal...I can come out with a "multiple foul" and show my rules knowledge")...in the end...

...I picked one. I just couldn't do it, for some reason.

Options arent a bad thing, we can get rid of knuckleheads & save one on the good players.
