Not if the official indicated 2 shots, and the players didn't react to the rebound as in a normal reboudning siutaion.
8.6.1 SITUATION:
A1 is about to attempt the first of a one-and-one free-throw situation. The administering official steps in and erroneously informs players that two shots will be taken. A1's first attempt is unsuccessful. The missed shot is rebounded by: (a) B1, with all other players motionless in anticipation of another throw; (b) A2, with all other players motionless in anticipation of another throw; or (c) B2, with several players from both teams attempting to secure the rebound. The officials recognize their error at this point.
RULING: In (a) and (b), the official's error clearly put one team at a disadvantage (players stood motionless and didn't attempt to rebound). Play should be blown dead immediately and resumed using the alternating-possession procedure. In (c), both teams made an attempt to rebound despite the official's error and had an equal opportunity to gain possession of the rebound. Play should continue.

I don't read that in the situation -- if I step in and say "one throw" and everyone but the rebounder acts as if there's 2 coming, tough beans.

I don't read anything into the situation. If I step in and say "two" and no one but the rebounder acts as if there's 2 coming, then it's my fault and we go to the arrow.

(Actually, I can't really tell what the official did in the original situation -- maybe he had really quick amnesia or something).

Exactly. So let's not give the coach one answer when another could be correct.
