Except that you penalize infractions in the order in which they occur. . .
Chuck, are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?

Team A down 1 point, B1 grasps the rim, causing it to shake, and causing BI . . .

Any team A player shoots FT's.
If neither is good, award 2 points for BI - team A wins by 1.
If one shot is good, award 2 points for BI - team A wins by 2.
If both shots are good, then what do you do? I would assume, by your read, you award 2 points for the BI - team A wins by 3.

I have to disagree with this for two reasons. First of all, 8-7 states that the penalties for fouls are administered in the order in which the fouls occurred.

More importantly, 5-6-3 (Exception) states that free throws at the end of a game are not attempted unless they would affect the outcome. The BI automatically puts team A up by 1, so the free throws can have no effect on the game.
