Does this question need to supply information regarding what a player from team B did wrong to merit a simultaneous FT violation?

Rule 8 Free Throw

1) For A-1’s first of a one and one free throw, offensive player A-2 is in the first marked lane space above the neutral zone mark. After the ball is at the disposal of free thrower A-1 the official notices the illegal alignment. The official sounds his whistle, rules simultaneous violations by both teams, and resumes play by the team entitled to the alternating possession throwin from the designated out of bounds spot nearest to where the simultaneous violation occurred. Is the official correct? Yes. (8-1-4-b)

That information is provided by the position of A2 along lane line.

Raymond is correct. It's a trick question that really shouldn't be that tricky because the question has been around for more than thirty five years.

A-2 violates because he's in a space that he can't be in. Team B violates because a Team B player isn't in a space that a Team B player must be in.
