What do they mean in rule 7-5-9, 6-4-3g, 4-36 New:
Changed the penalty for double personal, double technical and simultaneous fouls from an alternating possession throw-in to resuming play from the point of interruption. A new definition for “point of interruption” was also added.
I understand it for the most part, just not by the whole "point of interruption" what is that? Thanks

I'm going to assume, without actually having seen the changes, that POI means the ball is put back in play where it was at the time of the double fouls. For example, if A1 just dribbled across halfcourt, and A2 and B1 go at it, the double fouls are reported and A gets the ball back at halfcourt for the throw-in. Or, lets say A1 is shooting the first of two FT's, and right after A1 makes the first, A3 and B2 each mention something about each other's momma. Report the double T, then go back and A1 will shoot their second free throw. In other words, you will go back to the "point of interruption".
