Double Foul Before Try Is Released

Since we dont have a try and there's no continuation with a double foul...ball is dead, no basket, throw in for A

I'm participating in a discussion in a Facebook group in which I'm being told the status of the ball (try release or not released) is not of consequence in adjudicating a certain play scenario involving a double foul.

Guessing it's not the NFHS Basketball or Basketball Official Forum pages as thTa the ok only ones other than the state page I follow for basketball.

Would be nice for a direct case play for this.

It's REF CHAT, officials mostly based out of the NYC area and North Jersey. The guy who runs it is a friend of mine from when he used to officiate down here in Virginia. But he's also one of the ones pushing the narrative that ball status does not matter in this situation.

It's been discussed here several times, and never sufficiently resolved, to my way of thinking.

I think you can only have continuous motion on a defensive foul. A double foul would kill the play IMO because it does not fit the premise of a defensive foul. Just like a blarge can result in a GT or BI if a player commits that violation and the ball has been released. I get that this is probably a non-addressed situation in the rules or interpretation, but the rules seem to make the intention clear. But I have been wrong before taking similar stances.

Double foul (Blarge) before release.
Did the officials get it right?
