The ball is dead while the free thrower is holding the ball? When does the ball become live during a FT, then? When it's released for goal? Just curious.
Well whaddya know? I just looked this up and I was wrong (but so was Nick )

According to the rule book:

10.2 The ball becomes live when:
• During the jump ball, the ball is legally tapped by a jumper.
• During a free throw, the ball is at the disposal of the free-throw shooter.
• During a throw-in, the ball is at the disposal of a player for the throw-in.

So FIBA agrees with NFHS. In this sitch the free-throws would not cancel each other out.
