Yes, as per 4-36-2b.

The closest I can find is the interp from the 2006-2007 season:
SITUATION 3: Post players A5 and B5 are called for a double personal foul while the ball is in the air on a three-point try for goal by A1. RULING: There is no team control while a try for goal is in flight, and the ball does not become dead until the try ends. If the try is unsuccessful, there is no obvious point of interruption. Play will be resumed with an alternating possession throw-in nearest the location where the ball was located when it became dead, which will typically be on the end line. Had the try been successful, the point of interruption would have been a throw-in for Team B from anywhere along the end line. (4-4-3; 4-36; 6-4-3g; 7-5-9)
This is a good example of how just because there is no team control (the shot is in the air), you could still have a POI other than an AP throw-in (normal endline throw-in if the shot is successful).

Sometimes yes, and sometimes no.
It still suprises me that there are a number of officials that do not understand POI. It is totally your call as to how you want to handle your "experts", but have them explain why 4-36-2b does not apply,
and how the second part of 4-36-2c does not apply "...and no goal,
infraction, or end of period is involved".
