Where else would you have the throwin from?

Throw-in is from the spot nearest the foul. POI has nothing to do with it.

I see what you are saying I was using POI because the game was interrupted. We are talking about the spot on the floor though.

Sure it was interrupted, just like any time you blow the whistle. But just for kicks, wouldn't the POI have been a throwin for the non-scoring team? Instead you rightly gave the ball to A at the spot of the foul.

It would if scoring a basket is an interruption to the game.

The point of POI is to put the ball back where it would have gone had the game not been interrupted. IOW, how do we move on as if it didn't happen. Every time POI is used (double fouls, accidental whistle, etc), that's the purpose. So the POI is not the result of the interruption.

In the play in question, the interruption is the foul, the POI is the basket and ensuing throwin.

POI is used only when there's a double foul, an inadvertant whistle, a correctable error, ...

It's not used when there's a single foul (except for most single non-flagrant T's in NCAA) or a false double foul, ....

So, it's not relevant in your play.

Terminology matters.

I see what you mean. I was applying the literal sense of the word interruption from the definition of POI.

So no there was no application of POI by definition in the play.
