I Want To Pick A Prize From The Top Shelf ...
 

What do I win?

As you should have since the second one was neither intentional nor flagrant.

JR said the player was in the act of shooting...thus the ball wasn't dead on the first opponent's contact.

Nothing, the question wasn't for you.

Reviewing foul definitions... Sure seems to be a multiple foul. Two teammates committed personal fouls against the same opponent at approximately the same time. Maybe I didn't make it clear that the common foul which came first wasn't called. The intentional foul came after, but they were close enough together that the official didn't have time to blow his whistle for the common foul. The intentional foul was the only one called. Granted, I'm only speculating that the official would've called the common foul, but it sure looked like a foul from my vantage point.

Let's assume the first was a foul. The ball becomes dead as soon as the foul is committed, not when the whistle blows. So even if the second foul comes before the whistle for the first foul, it's a dead ball foul. The second would have to be a technical foul, thus it doesn't qualify as a multiple foul.

Now most of the time, when this second foul comes in so fast we don't have time to whistle the first, we'll just go with the 2nd.

But you cannot, by rule, call it a multiple foul. It's a false multiple, and each foul gets its own penalty.

Unless a player on the team that was fouled had started a try (continuous motion).

...which is what I believe the OP was trying to say when he said "Both fouls were in the continuation phase."

You're right, but I was talking about the other play, the on that rikardo saw.

Fair enough....I rarely go back and read the entire thread to make sure I know the specific context of each post unless it seems unclear to me....and it bit me this time.

Yeah, I've never done that. :)

If the ball becomes dead at the moment the first foul is committed, how can a multiple foul even exist? Does this mean that multiple fouls can only occur when a player is in the act of shooting?

It means it has to happen simultaneously...B1 and B2 foul A1 at the same time.

right you are. Missed that point. I have a subconscious habit of not paying attention to JR I guess.

I feel weird being called JR.

JR is Jurassic.

I'm Juggs! :D
