I was reffing with a new partner, who administered a free throw with two girls in the wrong lane spaces. I missed it until the ball was in A1's hand to shoot. Simultaneously, A2 and B1 realize they are in the wrong spaces and switch with each other (while A1 holds the ball preparing to shoot). The basket was good. What's the ruling if a) the basket is good and b) the basket is missed? We looked at each other, and realizing the basket was made we shrugged it off, since it was our fault, but I would like to know what the correct call would be for future reference. Yes, this should have been prevented!
