I remember seeing a casebook situation similar to this. If almost all of the players are going for the rebound I think it says you should just "play on" after you realize your mistake. If only the one person relized your mistake, you should probably just go with the old AP arrow, after you find out how much time should be put back.
This is the only fair thing I can think of, anyone else?

But in the original post the ref grabbed the ball after the first shot. I don't think he can just drop the ball and pretend he didn't say "Two!" before the first free throw and act as if nothing had happened.
You have to go with the arrow. Even if he didn't grab the ball, if he had told the players there were 2 shots and some of the players went after the rebound, you didn't give everyone on the court a fair shot at the rebound. Suck it up and correct the mistake properly. Don't take the easy (and in this case
wrong) way out.
