Go to the arrow?
Penalize the shot clock violation?
Since the whistle blew for the double foul, the shot clock should not have sounded, even though the ball remains live. That leads me to believe that we go to the arrow.
Others thought that since the ball is live and the shot clock horn did sound, you have a violation, and the POI is the penalty for the violation.
I looked through the case book and couldn't find a real match to the situation. Anybody have a clear reference?

The ball does not become dead on a foul until a try is in flight ends (NCAA 6-6-1-c). I don't find where that is different because it's a double foul. Normally, in this situation, the ball would be dead when it's obvious the try is unsuccessful and we'd go to the arrow because the POI is an undetermined possession. However, the ball becomes dead, even with a try in flight, when the offense violates. Which they did, although the determination of the violation is slightly delayed in this case.
So my take would be that POI would be the awarding of the ball OOB for the shot clock violation. After all, you have to ask yourself: What would have happened if there had been no interruption.
I would imagine this would be a similar in enforcement to if there were a double foul, with a try in flight, and then the offense commits BI.
