Free throw Violation

[SAK]

Rule 9-1-4 states If there is a violation fist by the free-thrower's opponent followed by the free thrower or a teammate:

b. If the second violation is by the free thrower or a teammate behind the three-point line, both violations are penalized, as in penalty item (3).

9-1-3 states: If there is a simultaneous violation by each tea, the ball becomes dead and no point can be scored. Remaining free throws are administered or play is resumed by the team entitled to the alternating-possession throw-in from the spot nearest to where the simultaneous violation occurred.

Question is, if team A1 is shooting and B2, in a marked lane space, violates followed by a violation from A1; how can you penalize both. If B2 was the only one to violate you have a delayed violation and A1 is awarded a replacement throw if the throw does not go in. If A1 is the only one to violate then the ball should become dead immediately. So how is it that no point is allowed to be scored. It seems that the penalty to more harsh for team A than it is for team B especially as team B may have the opportunity to get the ball on the ap throw-in?

I think I know the rule but just don't understand the rational behind it.

I'm not quite sure I understand your concern.

If B violates, A gets another try.

If A violates, they lose the try and the ball.

If they both violate, use the arrow -- each team gets something (the ball or the next arrow).

What would you have them do?

[SAK]

B was the first to violate. (By the rule I know its not correct.) I would like to give A another try, assuming the missed the initial one, as he was not the first to violate.

I guess what I would like is the shooter to be treated like a player lined up in a marked lane space. Where only the first violation is penalized.

Submit a rules change proposal to your state association.

Here is my understanding.
Before A1 releases the ball, B1 steps into the lane (disconcerts A1). If any Team A member in a lane marked space violates, then only penalize the 1st violation. If A1 happens to shoot an air ball, then again only penalize the 1st violation. State that B1's action caused A1 to be distracted, thus the airball.
Similar situation. A1 releases the ball, B1 steps into the lane (No disconcertion of A1). If any Team A member in a lane marked space violates, then only penalize the 1st violation. If A1 happens to shoot an air ball, then penalize both violations. The ball would go to the team with the next AP throw in.
Another situation. B1 violates by steping into the lane. Any Team A member NOT in a marked lane space violates, then penalize both vio;ations. The ball would go to the team with the next AP throw in.
