Peace

Why not? (Serious question.). If they both illegally go in at the same tine, what else would the call be?

Side question: when is a violation for joining the lane too late by a teammate of the shooter supposed to be called? I assumed immediately, but in my son's game (with what appeared to me to be trained but not experienced refs), the ref signaled when he went in, but waited for the shot to be taken before whistling the violation. Is that right? Could the team have bought its way out of that violation with a TO?

As I envision the play, the violation should have been called immediately.

that said, there's often a brief delay as the official verifies that the violation is on the FT shooting team and not on the "defense."
