Again, I'm pissed because I got this wrong. I answered "Yes".

Team A violated for being in the first marked lane space. Team B violated because it wasn't in the first marked lane space. Double violation, no point can be scored.

8-1-4-C: The first marked lane spaces on each side of the lane, above and adjacent to the neutral-zone marks, shall be occupied by opponents of the free thrower. No teammate of the free thrower shall occupy either of these marked lane spaces.

9-1-Penalty 3: If there is a simultaneous violation by each team, the ball becomes dead and no point can be scored.

Could the correct answer be "No" because the violation wasn't noticed in a timely manner?

9-1-4: The restrictions apply ... until the free throw ends.

Billy:

I agree with you. That is three questions you need to ask Roger about.
