Did we get it right?

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.
