The clock was not stopped for the first foul, it was stopped for the held ball. Am I reading the definition wrong? Is the last part of the definition what I'm not understanding?

Don't read it too literally. Basically, it is a false double if the two fouls occur without the clock starting between the fouls.

In practice, there is no need for a false double foul. They're really just seperate fouls that occur with the same time showing on the game clock (but maybe at different absolute times).

Thanks Camron,

That is what I thought a false double would be but I wanted to make sure because of what the definition stated. Is this a rule that they should change the wording on?

Yes, the wording is a but confusing...it is correct but hard to read.
