Double foul and shot clock horn

I am admittedly a neophyte when it comes to NCAA rules, and especially with the shot clock, however...

I don't see in the rules where the shot clock stops on a try, which would be one reason to consider why it maybe should have stopped. It would stop and reset on a single foul, which is not the case here. so that's not relevant. It would stop and then continue at the POI on a double foul when there is team control, which there isn't in this scenario.

Am I missing something?

Edited to add: Hmmm, except that by 5-10-1 it should stop on a foul. Which is without qualification.

I'm certainly no shot clock expert....but...

The game clock and shot clock should stop on the whistle for the foul. If the horn sounds after the foul/whistle, then the clock didn't get stopped correctly. Time should be restored to both the game clock and shot clock. Therefore, I believe that no shot clock violation has really occured. However, at the time of the foul, there was no team control (try in the air that was unsuccessful) which means possession is determined by the arrow....regardless of the time on the clock. You go with the arrow and, if team A has the possession arrow, you leave the clock at the restored time (with an imminent shot clock violation likely)

The clock should stop on a foul, but what if the sequence goes:

A1 shoots, shot clock horn goes off, A2/B2 double foul, try doesn't hit rim

Now what?

From NCAA 9-11-2, it appears that there are two distinct violations:

• An immediate violation if a try has not left a shooter's hand before the shot clock horn sounds
• If a try is in flight when the horn sounds, a violation occurs "subsequently", which I take to mean "not until it doesn't happen", when the try ends if it does not strike the ring, flange, or enter the basket.

So in this scenario, it seems we have a try in flight and a live ball when the double foul occurs. But the horn has sounded, so we don't have the stopping the clock issues in the OP. The ball becomes dead when the try ends. Penalize the double foul, POI is the AP arrow.
