The rule actually says (from
4-36-2):
b. A free throw or a throw-in when the interruption occurred during this activity or if a team is entitled to such.
The rule equates "during this activity" and "entitled to such". If we have a made basket followed by a dead ball double technical, the ensuing throw-in is anywhere along the end line, correct? If we have a made basket, ball at disposal, double foul/technical, the ensuing throw-in is anywhere along the end line, correct? If we have a held ball, followed immediately by a double technical, one team would be still be "entitled" to an AP throw-in, correct? So, AP throw-in in progress, double foul/technical, now all of a sudden we're changing the logic?
The rule does not differentiate a double foul that occurs during a throw-in from a double foul that occurs before a throw-in.
The case play reads:
4.19.8 SITUATION F:
A1 releases the ball on a throw-in, and before it is legally touched, A2 and B2 commit fouls against each other.
RULING: When a double foul occurs, play is resumed at the point of interruption. Since Team A's throw-in had not ended, the point of interruption would be a throw-in by Team A. (4-36-2b; 10 Penalty 1c)
So I'm returning to the throw-in that the team was entitled to AT THE POINT OF INTERRUPTION, whether it be running the end line or an AP throw-in.
