The NCAA wants us to catch the first offender on free throw line violations. Unless of course, they both violate simultaneously.

It's not just *want to*, it's the rule.

Suppose A is shooting FTs.

If A1 violates, we have an immediate dead ball. No player on B can violate after this---the FT attempt is over.

If B1 violates, then we have a delayed violation. If A1 violates after B1 *and both of them are in lane spaces*, then by rule (new this year) this is considered a violation on B. Give A another shot.

If either player in the last paragraph is not in a lane space, then we have a double violation. Go to the arrow.

And, as you pointed out, if the violations is simultaneous, then go to the arrow.
