#10 on the FIBA exam

I've looked and looked and looked at this question. I don't see how the answer could be what it is.

Q:
Team B has possession of the ball in the restricted area under Team A’s basket when B5 and A5 begin to fight with each other. The officials eject both players and resume play with a Team B throw-in from behind the end line nearest to the ball’s location when the whistle sounded. Is this correct?

A: No.
Reason it's incorrect is listed as Article 35:2 about Double Fouls...which says:

35.2 Penalty
A personal foul shall be charged against each offender. No free throws shall be awarded and the game shall be resumed as follows:
If at approximately the same time as the double foul
• A valid field goal, or a last or only free throw is scored, the ball shall be awarded to the non-scoring team for a throw-in at any place at the endline.
• A team had control of the ball or was entitled to the ball, the ball shall be
awarded to this team for a throw-in at the place nearest to the infraction.
• Neither team had control of the ball nor was entitled to the ball, a jump ball
situation occurs.

Since a double foul was called while Team B had possession, shouldn't it be Team B's ball nearest the place of POI??? Please...someone explain this to me.

Not an expert in FIBA, but the rule states the ball is inbounding nearest the infraction, not nearest to the location of the ball, as stated in the question.

Good catch; that's a pretty big difference between FIBA and NFHS/NCAA rules.

For those of you not familiar with the terminology of international rules, "infraction" is French for "snail".

AustinRef... You noticed something that I would have never caught. That must be it. Greatly appreciated.

Almost - it's "small but mouthwatering and overpriced".

Yeah, the executive committee was about to send you a letter requesting monthly dues.

You're good for a year now.

There is another case when play resumes in a different location than expected.

If people among substitutes, coaches or team followers of both teams are ejected because of leaving the team bench area during a fight (Art. 39) and play must be resumed with a throw-in for the team in possession before the fight (it's the case when all penalties cancel off), the throw in shall be at the center line.

Ciao
