Am I late? ;)
Since I've had the opportunity to meet Camron in person and have a great deal of respect for him, rather than speculate I believe that it would best to just ask him directly what he would do on the court in such a situation. Let's set the scenario and state a few givens. A1 drives and during the act of shooting is whacked on the arm by B1. The Lead official observes this action and whistles immediately for a foul. A1 goes airborne and releases the ball. Just after the release and prior to A1 returning to the floor B2 comes from the C's side of the lane and while attempting to block the shot swings late and strikes the shooter in the head. The C judges this action to be a foul. Now you are the C. Do you blow the whistle or not? If so, how do you proceed with you partner in the Lead position? |
This is a situation where I'd consider a multiple foul, but that is so completely different than my proposed situation, which actually happened, that it deserves its own thread and poll. :D

Where I work (or should I say, who I work for) would expect the 2 officials to come together briefly and have the C take the "obvious" foul to the table. (with the possibility that we have a IF/FF1). And until such time that a coach sends in some film and asks why a multiple foul wasn't called I doubt anyone would bat an eye, at least not around these parts. |

We do not call multiple fouls because of the storm it will bring. We have coaches that complain if the foul difference is 7-2 and if we call a multiple foul on the team with 7, now it is 9-2. And the next foul we are shooting two shots every single time in that half. And you think a coach that does not know this is a rule is going to be like, "OK I am good with that."
Pick one and move on. Peace |

That being said it was a solid violation call on the part of my partner. I think he gave him about 15 seconds and the coach gave his player crap about taking so long. His routine was very unusual where he walked away from the line and faced the other end of the floor while still in the circle and paused and then came back to the line to shoot. So I agree, I probably would call one of these long before I ever think to call a multiple foul. Peace |
When did somebody ever decide
that multiple fouls were a good idea?
I can't even imagine a coach bringing that up and other coaches agreeing to it. Especially if they considered how this would effect their team when it was called on them. I think if this was made a point of emphasis and we called it for 1 regular season, the rule would be eliminated. Or we would start hearing complaints from coaches, like "Look I know you called that foul, but his teammate also fouled him. That's a multiple foul by rule and we should be shooting 6 free throws cause it was a 3 point shot" To which we'd have to explain how many free throws a multiple foul gives, plus explaining why we didn't have one on this play. :eek: |

Simple fix: award a one-shot, no possession technical for dead ball contact. The real penalty for a technical should be fear of ejection/disqualification, not two shots and the ball. |
