Case play 9.1.6B.

I am and I will.
Juulie and Adam have directed you properly. Besides posting the text of the case book play for you, all that I can add is my comment that if B1 stepped into the lane BEFORE A1 released the try, I would strongly consider disconcertion as the case book play advises. On the other hand, if A1 has already released the try when B1 steps in prior to the ball hitting the ring or backboard, then I would definitely go with the double violation on the airball and use the AP arrow. I don't think that calling disconcertion after the try is released would make sense.
9.1.6 SITUATION A: While A1 is attempting a final free throw, (a) B1 enters the lane too soon followed by A2, both of whom are in marked lane spaces; or (b) B1, in a marked lane space enters the lane too soon, then shooter A1 steps on the free-throw line while releasing the throw. RULING: In (a), if the try is successful, the goal shall count and the violation shall be ignored. If the try is unsuccessful, the ball shall become dead when the free throw ends and a substitute free throw shall be attempted by A1 under the same conditions as those for the original free throw.
In (b), a double violation is called and the ball is put in play using the alternating-possession procedure. COMMENT: Anytime the defense violates first, followed by a violation by the free-throw shooter, the officials should consider the possibility of disconcertion. (9-1 Penalty)
