Yes. A1 still gets two tries.
Why does he get two tries, when this is the second of two shots?
He gets two attempts to make one because of the violation. When the official blows the whistle, it does not cancel B's violation. When the ball is handed to A, the official will immediately indicate a deleyed violation. If missed, A gets one more.
Camron, perhaps this is just a vocabulary thing, perhaps not, I'm so confused, I'm not sure what I'm confused about. Are you saying that A1 already had her first shot, and then on the second shot B1 violated before the ball was released, and the ref blew the whistle before the ball was released, and now, A1 gets a new shot, but if it's missed, she gets yet another try? So the first "replacement" shot has a built-in violation, giving another try if missed? In a sense, we're giving three to make one? My tone may sound a little argumentative, but it's not, I'm just trying to clarify.
