I'm sorry. I misunderstood your question. I thought you were unclear on the rule. I agree that its application may seem unfair at times. If the offense violates, they lose the FT. If the offense and defense violate at the same time, they lose the FT, but there's no penalty to the defense. The only time the defense is penalized if they're the first to violate. So in two of the three possibilities, the offense is penalized and the defense is not.
Not sure how else to do it, tho. I also agree that the best thing to do is try as often as possible to determine who violated first, and avoid the double violation if possible.
