RULING: This is a simultaneous personal foul. B1 and A2 are charged with personal fouls. The ball shall be put back in play with an alternating-possession throw-in for Team A on the sideline nearest B1's foul. COMMENT: Since the fouls occurred at two different locations on the floor, the spot for the throw-in is determined by the foul of the team not entitled to the alternating-possession throw-in. Example: Team A has the arrow; throw-in administered at the spot closest to Team B's foul. (4-19-9; 6-3-3g)

Thanks Bob. The original scenario of the FT violation is probably one of those extremely rare cases, but I'll file this one away in the old noggin!

The location of the throw for simultaneous violations is determined by which team has the arrow. The spot will be at the spot nearest the violation committed by the team without the arrow.

Correct -- there's a case play or interp (possibly dealing with fouls) on this.

These guys are sharp! That is exactly the ruling and citation that I had in mind when making my earlier post.
