I'm reading in your response on "Play 2" that an official should only respond to the "first violation" and not the" second violation;" so the free thrower should be awarded another free throw Is this a correct interpretation?
What about the other hypothetical .... where --the free thrower steps on the FT line as he releases his attempt?

In the first play (in this post), bob's direction is straight from the rule book. When two opponents along the lane both violate, only the first is penalized.
If the second violation is by any other player (including the free throw shooter), you penalize with a simultaneous violation (it says "arrow", but it's really POI) unless you deem the first violation disconcerted the shooter.
