I think that if you ever get this sitch in a game,and you let a FT get taken with A1 and B2 in the bottom slots,you had better be hoping that a supervisor isn't watching the game.As Dan said,make 'em line up right before you throw the ball to the free thrower(B1).That's your job!
If you do let the free thrower take a shot with A1 and B2 in the bottom slots,then it is a double violation.Cancel the shot.If it's the first of 2 shots,go to the 2nd shot-and forgoodnessake don't let a B player into a bottom slot again.If it's the 2nd of two,or the first of a 1and1,go with the AP.

Hmmmmmmm....why is it a Double Violation if Team A only has one player left and that player is in the correct position, bottom slot. Is it Team A's fault that the official let a player from Team B fill that vacant bottom slot? Does the one player left on Team A have to do the job of the officials and yell at the player for being in a bottom slot of which Team A has no players to fill?
I agree with the "Common Sense" guys...in this sitch, if you only have one player left, let him/her line up in the bottom slot and keep the other slot vacant...no violations, no delay of game, play ball!
In the event you do have a Team B player take the bottom slot, in this unlikely scenario,...violation Team B! If the rules are going to allow one player to play, we shouldn't make that player also have to officiate!
