Double foul and shot clock horn

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.
