I think one of the rules here has been interpreted a couple of different ways.
 
14.3.2.1.1 specifies that for his first year in RESIDENCE, as a partial
qualifier, he cannot practice or compete. This would seem to be satisfied.
 
However, the precise wording of 12.2.3.2.4.1 can be seen to address Mike's
original question about concurrence. It says that an individual shall be
denied the first year of COMPETITION. Not his first year "in residence."
Mike's first year in residence was NOT his first year of competition
because of 14.3.2.1.1. '92-'93 was his first year of competition-- which he
should have been denied under 14.3.2.1.1.
 
Mike, although the rules don't specifically state that ineligibilities
can't be taken concurrently, it does seem that the distinction between
first years of residence and first year of competition might have been
designed to achieve the same thing-- to prevent an athlete with multiple
eligibility problems from killing two birds with one stone.
