Exactly.

This is where you would have to judge if A1 was disconcerted. It's (the OP)worded that you have B1 stepping into the lane THEN A1 shooting. Could be/may not be disconcertion...you decide.

But, normally, the ball is in the air when the B1's of the world violate, trying to time the "hit on the rim/backboard". That's double violation and AP

[Coach Bill]

So, you'd call a violation on B-1, if he stepped in right when the ball was going to touch the rim, but happened to fall a hair short?

If B-1 stepped in after the ball had clearly missed, then it's not a violation because the FT was over.

So, in your scenario, no violation.

It isn't exact... but this is a case play.

I believe the play in the case book the shooter steps on the line and then B commits a violation.

Bill, you and I should both know an official can't possibly see both of those happen at the same time!!

No because two different officials are watching for each of those things.

Then who decides which happens first?

Following is a NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretation from 1995-96. It sort of fits this situation but not exactly:

SITUATION #17: A1 is preparing to attempt the first of two free throws. B1, who is occupying a marked lane space, fakes as if to enter the lane prematurely. A1 releases the ball but it does not strike the ring or enter the basket.

RULING: The violation for faking applies only to players along the lane and only if an opponent enters the lane early because of the fake. However, in this situation the administering official may judge that the fake disconcerted A1. If disconcertion is called, the violation by A1 is disregarded and a substitute throw is awarded. If disconcertion is not ruled, A1's violation cancels the first attempt and the second attempt is awarded. (9-1-3,4, Penalty 3)

I have the remaining interps from 95-96, but am not sure how to post them.

That all depends upon who has the fastest whistle! Just kidding.
