NFHS rules

B32 commits a common foul on A14. A is in the bonus. B32 and A14 then hit each other and are called for a double technical foul. Is the point of interruption the 2 few throws by A14 or since the point of interruption was a dead ball do you go to alternating procession after the free throws.

Let us address some points in your question like this. What is point of interruption? It means just that, the point you interrupted the play before you called any fouls? So, do we go to alternating possession when we call a foul? And if not why? We also never shoot a bonus on a double foul of any kind (not because of the two fouls).

So to answer your question, A14 shoots the 2 free throws for the bonus after you report all the fouls. The POI is shooting the FTs, nothing else.

POI is the common foul.

We resume play with the results of the common foul.

... with rebounding players on the lane lines.

This is a situation that reminds us that we need to know our Definitions. What really is this situation: A False Double Foul!

First Foul: B32's CF against A14.

Second Foul: A14 and B32's DTF.

How are FDFs adjudicated. The are Charged and Penalized in the order in which they occurred with the Ball returned to Play as if the Last Foul in the FDF was the only Foul:

1a) If A14's TF did not cause A14 to become Disqualified, then A14 will attempt his/her 2 FTs with the Spaces along the FT Lane unoccupied because the Ball will become Dead and remain Dead after the last FT regardless of whether or not it is successful.

1b) If A14's TF did cause A14 to become Disqualified, then A14's Substitute will attempt A14's 2 FTs with the Spaces along the FT Lane unoccupied because the Ball will become Dead and remain Dead after the last FT regardless of whether or not it is successful.

2) The Ball will be put into Play by a Designated Spot Throw-in by the Team that has the AP Arrow from one of the 8 'Designated Spot Throw-in Throw-in Spots' (Yes, that is the name that I have given those eight spots and I know that Billy is laughing every time I use that name, lol.) closest to the Spot where the DTF occurred. (2025-26 NFHS: R4-S36-A2c and R7-S5-A3)

Not even the point of interruption.

8-6-3: If a false double foul involves any type of single foul and any type of double foul, play is resumed with the penalty for only the single foul, as if the double or simultaneous foul had not occurred.

Why is the lane line unoccupied for A14's bonus free throws?

Double technicals are double fouls, they go to the point of interruption. If the point of interruption is possession by a team, they get a throw-in based on the location of the ball. If the point of interruption is free throws, you line everybody up and shoot the free throws.

Did I miss a change to the original scenario?

Nice citation Mike Goodwin.

I look out my window and I imagine what it must be like to live in Fairbanks, Alaska.

This is not correct. We stopped using the AP arrow following double fouls at least a dozen years ago. We now use the POI rule.
