Multiple Foul

[Toren]

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.

Well the coaches are the ones voting on the rules right?

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.

Won't happen in high school in the near future...they WANT the added (potential) penalty of loss of possession...just like they also include the loss of the coaching box on (in)directs on the coach.

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.
