The try counts if successful and then the officials will award 1-1 to one player with the lane cleared, followed by 1-1 to the other fouled player with the lane spaces occupied. The game will continue as normal from the second player's FT attempts.
Which player shoots FTs first? The officials have to make that decision and it should be based upon which foul they believe occurred first. If they truly can't tell, then they just have to pick one.
I think the moral of this story is NEVER say they occurred at the same time. Pick one that happened first. Even on the try in flight, we do know ball remains live, but we are still deciding who shoots without lane spaces filled, and who shoots with them filled. Maybe it isnt big deal for us to pick one. But in the other scenario, if they declare they happened at the same time they too happpened during live ball. So if we pick there, we decide who will shoot and who doesnt. OR, maybe since the happened at same time, neither player gets to shoot. There were six fouls when they both were fouled at same time. Next foul is when bonus begins in this situation. I think id avoid this like the plague.


ONE WILL always happen BEFORE the other...thx
