edited response: What the heck was I thinking when I posted this response and why didn't anybody take me to task for my grossly incorrect answer.

It is one, but it is a simultanious violation.

9.1.2 SITUATION B

Taking a test?

It would be two, simultaneous violations, would it not? One for the offensive player occupying the first spot; the second for the defense not occupying that spot.

One violation, one error. On the official that allowed them to line up like that!

How can one of anything be simultaneous? :cool:

LOL.. this is a good response.

Dont administer the ball till they are set. Preventative officiating. ;)

Well, that is a good point. I was noting that the situation calls it a "simultaneous violation". But you're right; to have a simultaneous violation there has to be 2 violations.

Wouldn’t the answer to OP’s question then be true?

I believe the answer to the OP's question is true. The defensive player being in the 2nd spot is not a violation, he can be there if the offense doesn't choose to use that spot. But it is a simultaneous violation for the offense to be in the 1st spot.

Double Violation
 

From secondregionbug: "Two violations occur when an offensive player occupy the first lane space...? T or F

True, double violation. Violation for defensive player not being in the first lane space. Violation for offensive player being in the first lane space.

Self-simultaneity? Not to get overly metaphysical, but isn't every event simultaneous with itself?

Ist du, Ernst?

Yup, sounds like test questions.....:)

Don't you also have a violation for the two defensive players failing to occupy the spaces next to the basket? ;)

yes. simultanious violation
