Other Chuck,I'll try to answer you questions in order,and hope I get 'em right.If not,I'm sure I'll be corrected.
1)You can't call a 10-second FT violation on A until he actually violates.He doesn't violate until the 10 second count expires.In this case,A could call a time-out to avoid the violation(I think).Reference is 9-1-3 in rulebook and 5-8-3situationB in the casebook .Similarly,if you place the ball on the floor for a resuming-play throw-in,the team throwing the ball in doesn't violate until the 5 second count is up,and they can call a TO to avoid the violation,also. BTW,a 10-second free throw violation is rarely called,and rightly so.Most officials use a lot of discretion on this call.
2)A delayed violation on an opponent on a FT is only ignored if the FT is good(rulebook 9-1penalty2a).When A violates after B,you have a double violation,and both are applied.See rulebook 6-3-3c and casebook play 6-3-3situationB.You are right in that A gets the 2nd FT.Note that on the first shot in a bonus situation,however,you go with the arrow instead of just penalizing the 10 second violation and giving B the ball OB.
Here you have to think of two things at the same time!
