Well, Tom, looks like you're the one who needs to check the rule book. Good thing you didn't bet any money on that one
There's no provision regarding false double fouls that says the clock must be running. In fact, since in most cases false double fouls do not occur simultaneously, at least one of the FDFs will almost always occur with the clock stopped.
Example: A1 drives to the basket. B1 fouls A1 while A1 is in the act of shooting (personal foul). A1's basket is successful. A1 walks to the FT line (with clock stopped) and then verbally taunts B1 (technical foul).
This is a case of false double fouls. The fouls are by opponents where the order of the fouls is easily determined.
Hope that's helpful.
