Multiple Foul

[letemplay]

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.

Yes. Don't be a physics professor.

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

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.

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

They do, but not under those names.

Never seen it called and never heard anyone call it.

Peace

No way I would make that call.

Saw one of these called at a camp this summer. Needless to say, the evaluator was very interested in hearing the official explain that call.

Learn the definition for testing purposes only.

Then, forget it.

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.

I called a multiple foul that day, but if you don't want to hear, then fine.
