Double Foul During Free Throw

It's clear from the cases that if the try has not started, the POI is still the FT. And, if the ball is in the air, the POI is the result of the FT. WHat's not clear (to me) is what the POI is if it's during the try.

Yup, and 6-7EXCEPTION(c) says "the opponent of a player". There is no mention of any foul combination that includes the foul by "the opponent of the player" that negates that statement. That's why I agree with you also.

As to the POI, heckuva question. I'll think about it in, oh maybe, 5 innings or so.

Bob, wouldn't we go to the arrow since there is no control when the ball in the air? no player or team control

.........if a teammate fouls.......before the ball is in flight. The ball becomes dead immediately.

Unless there is an exception to this specified somewhere, don't we have to go with this part?

The foul by the defense did not cause the ball to become dead, but the foul by the teammate did.

Disagree, the ball should become dead on the double foul. Now, if the double foul occurred after the release, then you go POI, and continue on.

I'm a liitle fussy on this event occurring on the F/T. Certainly, if we have an offensive foul, whether before or after the release, we don't count the bucket. If we have a defensive foul, whether before or after the release, count the bucket, continue on. Now, we have a doulbe foul and before the release. Good question.

I would say the answer is true, disallow the made FT, go POI, shoot another FT with everyone on the line. Continous motion got nothing to do with it. Just my opinion.....
