I know, I know. After simultaneous fouls, you go to the arrow. But how about. . .

A1 is fouled by B1 while in the act of shooting. At the same time, B2 is fouled by A2. So we have simultaneous fouls, but one of them was committed against a shooter.

So it seems that there are some options:

1) No free throws, just go to the arrow.
2) Shoot 2 FTs with nobody on the lane and then go to the arrow.
3) Shoot 2 FTs with players on the lane and continue as after any normal FT.

I think #3 is right out, even though that's what actually happened in the game that I heard about (about 15th-hand). So the question is, is A1 allowed to shoot FTs for being fouled in the act of shooting if his teammate commits a foul at the same time?


How about this twist. A1 is fouled by B1 while in the act of shooting. At the same time, A2 and B2 foul each other. How do we administer that one? Seems like the same options apply.

I don't see why this is treated any differently than a double foul, with one of the fouls being on the shooter. Treat as in 4.19.7C
