I think the rationale by the NCAA is not to bail out the offense out of what would be a clear violation had the double foul not occurred. So you have 3 possible scenarios:

• shot goes in, awards points to offense, defense gets ball running end line
• shot hits rim but doesn't go in, go to AP arrow
• shot doesn't hit rim, shot clock violation, award ball to defense

The answer Brad gave is definitely correct.
