In the NCAA 1999-2000 Men's and Women's basketball officating program, that we get to start the year off, it goes over this same thing...they call it a double foul, but false double foul rules apply, GO TO THE ARROW.
I think there's some misunderstanding of "false double foul" happening here. It is the DOUBLE FOUL that leads to the possession arrow being used, not the false double foul. Yes, it's a false double in the sense that another foul occured after the first (that is about to be shot when the next fouls happen), but the LAST foul(s) in this sequence is a double foul. That is what causes us to go with the arrow--there are no false double foul rules per se that apply with respect to the arrow.
Now, Bart, as far as lining up the shooters, I believe we never line them up if play is going to be resumed via a throw-in. And until I got to look at my NCAA manual, I was also thinking the team in "control" gets the throw-in. However, the new rule specifies that this occurs only when a double foul is called during a throw-in: "Team in possession of the ball for the throw-in when double personal foul is called shall put the ball in play from a designated spot nearest . . . ." (p. 11 under Rules Changes). That suggests to me that if a double foul occurs in any other situation, you go with the AP arrow. The monkey wrench in this interpretation comes when you read the summary for administering double fouls on page BR-94,, which adds: "Awarded to the team IN CONTROL (emphasis mine) or in possession of the ball during a throw-in." That little difference of wording from how it describes the rule change confuses me. So . . . I don't know, yet, which way is correct.
