Why the difference (NCAA edition)?

[ChuckElias]

When double personal fouls are committed, the ball is put back in play by awarding it to the team in control at the time of the foul.

When double technical fouls are committed, the ball is put back in play at the POI.

Why the difference?

How is that different? Isn't it the same, just worded differently?

Play #1: A1 releases the ball on a try. While the try is in flight, the official assesses a double personal foul against A2 and B2. The try is successful. RULING: Since there was no team control at the time of the fouls, possessesion of the ball is awarded according to the AP arrow. If the arrow favors Team B, the inbounder may run the endline.

Play #2: A1 releases the ball on a try. While the try is in flight, the official assesses a double technical foul against A2 and B2. The try is successful. RULING: Team B will receive a throw-in anywhere along the endline, since if the play had not been interrupted, Team B would inbound after the made basket.

Those plays aren't ARs, by the way. They are test questions from a couple years ago. The rulings haven't changed as far as I know.

What happens in Play #2 if the shot is no good?

Arrow.

So the only time it wouldn't go to AP is if there's a basket and double T's while the ball is in flight? Strange. It makes common sense but it doesn't make "rule" sense.
