NFHS R4-S36-A2: "Play shall be resumed by one of the following:
a. A throw-in to the team that was in control at a spot nearest to where the ball was located when the stoppage occurred.
b. A free throw or a throw-in when the stoppage occurred during this activity or if a team is entitled to such.
c. An alternating-possession throw-in when the point of interruption is such that neither team is in control and no goal, infraction, nor end of quarter/extra period is involved."
NFHS R10, Penalty 7: "In the case of a false double foul or false multiple foul, each foul carries its own penalty."
We have a false double foul in the situation. The first foul that occured was the personal foul by B1 against A1. The second foul that occured was the double technical foul by A1 and B1. R10, Penalty 7 tells us that when we have a false double foul, each foul carries its own penalty; that means the fouls are penalized in the order that they occurred and that the ball is put back into play as if the only foul that occured was the last foul in the sequence. The last foul in this sequence was the double technical foul by A1 and B1.
I agree, that the double technical foul by A1 and B1, by definition, is a Point of Interruption. But it is the last foul in a false double foul and because it occured when neither team was in control of the ball when it occured, R4-S36-A2c tells us that the AP Arrow is the method used to put the ball back into play. R4-S36-A2b is not the applicable rule because the double technical foul occured while B1's personal foul was being reported.

Sigh.....
A double technical foul is an infraction of the rules, Mark. Seriously. I wouldn't lie to you.
The double technical foul occurred
DURING the free throw activity. Not that it matters anyway, because 4-36-2(b) also states
"if a team is entitled to such.". Well, team A is entitled to 2 FT's ,aren't they? 'Splain that one away.
Rule 4-36-2(b) couldn't be more explicit. And you couldn't be more wrong.
