The rule is completely clear about how the error is corrected. If discovered soon enough, the erred FT doesn't count, a FT is awarded at the proper end, and we either play on from there or resume at point of interruption depending on whether there was a change of possession between error and discovery.

If not discovered soon enough, the erred FT counts for the team that shot it.

If NFHS were to do this [make rules available by internet] it would be easier for the average person to understand the rules, and might make our jobs easier.
The NCAA has its rulebook downloadable from its web site, and college fans, coaches, and players don't know the rules any better because of it. I doubt that making the NF rules publically available would help much either.
