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.

It must exist so that the 2nd player doesn't feel like they can get a free shot....or two players creating excessive contact. Even if you call them intentional, they would still be multiples.

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?

When I hear a whistle from my partner for a foul, I'm not likely to come in with another foul at all unless I think it was intentional or flagrant.

A Multiple Multiple Foul ???

Wow? A new twist? A multiple foul from multiple officials? Interesting. Very interesting.

I've seen a multiple foul called once and I believe it was the right call. Severe contact affecting the shot must be called. Contact with affects a safe landing in a non-trivial manner should also be called.
