4.19.6 Situation A:
Airborne A1, while trying for a field goal, is fouled by B1. A1 continues with the trying motion and before or after releasing the ball, crashes in B2 who has legal position. The try by A1 is successful. Ruling: Even though A1 was fouled, the ball remains live because the foul occurred during the trying motion. When airborne shooter A1 fouled B2, however, this was a player-control foul, which caused the ball to become dead immediately. Therefore, the field goal by A1 does not count, however A1 is granted two free throws for being fouled in the act of shooting.
Would this be a double foul? Would B team get the ball after the free throws? I guess Im not seeing this case clearly. Any insight is appreciated.

The reason this is not a double foul is that it is not two opponents fouling each other. There are three players involved in this play A1, B1, and B2. Thus it is a false double foul.
There is also a casebook play where A1 crashes into B1 and one official calls a PC and the other calls a block. This is a double foul since it is only two opponents committing fouls.
