There's not enough information here to answer the question. What was the status of the ball when the official called the double T?
If one team had control, then there is no AP throw-in, as the ball is simply awarded back to the team in control at the spot nearest to the ball.
If an unsuccessful try was in flight when the official called the double T, then play would be resumed with an AP throw-in.

Case Book *4.19.8
A1 and B1 foul one another at approximately the same time. The contact occurs during: (b)a dead-ball situation.
RULING: It is a double technical foul. No free throws are awarded and play resumes at the point of interruption. (4-36)
Rule Book 4-36-2c
Play shall be resumed by:
c. An alternating-possession throw-in when the point of interruption is such that neither team is in control...
NFHS...dead ball, double technical, no team in control.
Please give example of when a team would be in control during a dead ball.

The reason you are confused here is that you stopped quoting the rule too soon. 4-36-2c says ". . .when neither team is in control and no goal, infraction, nor end of quarter/extra period is involved." Yes, the ball is dead, but if there's an infraction (foul or traveling violation, for example), goal, or end of period, then we know who is going to get the ball next. And
that's where we resume.
So, for example, B1 fouls A1 as A1 releases a try for goal. Official sounds the whistle for the personal foul. The try is unsuccessful. After the ball has become dead, A1 and B1 curse at each other. Official calls a double technical foul.
So now what? The ball is dead with neither team in control. What's the POI? Well, b/c there was an infraction (B1's personal foul), we know that A1
would have had control if the double T had not occured. Therefore, we resume by awarding A1 2 FTs with players lined up along the lane and continue the game as after any "normal" FTs.
Make sense?
