If you watch the video over and over, it looks like H1 & V1 come into the lane about the same time, but it is H1 that begins first, IMO, causing V1 to move.

1) It looks like the official called a double violation, which I don't agree with.
2) In either case, the score was correctly cancelled
3) In this case, the throw-in appears to be via AP, which if a double violation, is correct
4) I think the only error was made calling a double violation, I would have called the violation on H1 and given the ball to V for OOB throw-in.

Thoughts?

"Simultaneous" violation is the word in the book. H1 may have moved first but moving, itself, is not a violation. If it was a fake then you penalize the fake. Here white starts moving and V1 decides she doesnt approve and they go in at same time. Simultateously. no basket can be scored. if no other free throw go to arrow. 9-1 Penalty 3. The error was putting the ball in play on the oppostite side of the lane from where the players violated.
