So, why is the double personal foul different -- why not say the B had "control" after the made basket and give the ball to B instead of using the arrow? Shouldn't the rules on these (Double Ps and Double Ts) fouls be reasonably consistent?

D.J. -- Just for my own edification, isn't this different from Fed? In fed, if I remember correctly, if the shooter fouls while the ball is in the air, the ball becomes dead, and the shot, if made, doesn't count, right? Another offensive foul away from the ball doesn't have the same effect, right?
If the foul is by the airborne shooter (or the shooter before releasing the ball), then the ball is immediately dead in FED and NCAA W. Not in NCAA M, for the airborne shooter.

If it's a foul by the player who shot, but has returned to the floor, then it's the same as any offensive foul -- the ball isn't dead until the try ends, under all codes.
