If you are using NFHS rules then you didn't handle it precisely right, but close enough.
There is a case play (9.1.1 see below) which instructs you to whistle immediately to prevent any lane violations when the ball accidently gets away from the shooter.
So you should have just hit the whislte and readministered the front end of the one and one.
Now it sounds like you did that, but you state that you called a lane violation on B1. Since that is the case, you should have been indicating a delayed violation during the replacement FT and if it was missed, then the shooter gets another try. I seriously doubt that you did this, so you got the right administration for the wrong reason.
Here's the case play:
FREE-THROWER LOSES BALL
9.1.1 SITUATION: A1, at the free throw line to attempt a free throw (a) muffs the pass from the official and it rolls forward; or (b) accidentally drops the ball before the throwing motion is started. RULING: In (a) and (b) the official should sound the whistle to prevent any violations and then start the free throw procedure again.
