Hmmmmmm, did the second kid have to move just because the first one told him to?
I have heard this question asked by more than a few veteran officials.
Therefore, they penalize both players who violated...double violation. (They use to say)
Dude
P.S. However...the new Penalty for 9-1, concerning free throw violations, could be used to back up what Chuck is saying.
Also, the old Rule 9-1 Art. 4 was fairly clear:
...nor shall any player in a marked lane space fake to cause an opponent to violate.
