During a free throw, if an offensive player occupies the 1st lane space and the defensive player occopies the 2nd space is this a simultanoeos violation? This is on the new rules test and I'm not sure how NFHS rules on this. Thanks..

You'll find the answer in the Points of Emphasis.

Not completely sure myself.
 

I ruled this true. Because these both would be a lane line violations committed by both teams. So by all accounts, this would be a simultaneous violation.

Peace

I don't have this year's book yet, so I can't check the POEs, but the rule citation would be 9-1-2.

Here is the info from the NFHS website under POE
Double Violation: If the offense is erroneously permitted to occupy the first two lane spaces and the defense is erroneously permitted to occupy the second two lane spaces, a double violation shall be called (9-1-2 Pen 3).

9-1-2, pen 3 says: "If there is a simultaneous violation by each team, and no further free throws are to be administered....." If this is the first of multiple free throws, then I don't think this penalty would apply.

BTW, got my books (all 3) last night at our first meeting. POEs are:

1. Sporting Behavior -- Taunting
2. Rough Play
3. Free Throw Administration
4. Time-Out Administration
5. Substituting -- Player Disqualifications
6. End-of-Game Situations/Intentional Fouls

Here is the link for the POE if you don't have your books yet(like me)

for penalty on first or second (of 3) SEE Officials manual
para 263 (maybe different in new manual)
