Double Foul ? Rule 4-19-8 ?

[tjones1]

I don't think it's a false double foul. The OP said A1 returned to the floor - therefore, the ball is dead. In 4.19.9 Situation A it states that A1 fouls B2 in returning to the floor.

Edit: I'm agreeing with #2 of Snaq's post.

The ball does NOT become dead when A1 returns to the floor. That only makes A1 no longer an airborne shooter. The ball becomes dead when the try ends--in this case when it becomes apparent that it will not be successful.

You are being confused by the fact that an airborne shooter can commit a personal foul during a dead ball. That is not a factor in this play.

Good, I'm glad that you now see how your statement below isn't necessarily true. It might be, but it also might not be the case. The truth is that the two have nothing to do with each other.
