Test question from the NCAA test:

While A-1’s try is in flight, A-2 and B-2 commit a double personal foul, followed by the shot clock expiring. The ball fails to hit the ring or flange. The possession arrow favors team A. The official:

A. used the alternating possession procedure to resume play
B. ruled this is not a shot clock violation
C. ruled shot clock violation and awarded the ball to team B

I would have said A because there is no team control during a shot attempt. However, the correct answer is listed as C.

Can someone give me the rational for that?

Thanks!
