Aggie, Bob Jenkins spelled it out pretty clearly on page 1 of this thread. Here are the possibilities:

1) Free throw violations (listed in 9-1) are committed by opponents and both opponents occupy a lane space along the lane line.

2) Free throw violations are committed by opponents and one or both opponents do NOT occupy a lane space.

3) Violations are committed by opponents during the FT, but one of the violations is NOT a free throw violation.

In (1), only the first violation is penalized. So if the first violation is by the shooting team, the ball is dead immediately and no points are scored. If the first violation is by the defensive team, then we have a delayed violation and if the FT misses, we give a replacement throw.

In (2), a double violation has occured. If it is during the first of a multiple throw, no point can be scored and play is continued with the next FT. If it is during the last of a multiple throw (or during the first of a 1-and-1), then no point can be scored and play is resumed with an alternating possession throw-in.

In (3), each violation would be penalized. In the case play that was cited, the defensive free throw violation is penalized with the delayed whistle. If the FT misses, a substitute throw will be awarded. When A2 commits BI, it ends the throw-in. It is penalized by causing the ball to become dead. But since the FT was not scored, we still have to award A1 a substitue FT.

That's very long-winded, but I hope it clears up the confusion.
