Perhaps B's coach didn't know...no one except the coach will know for sure. The fact that A scored is not relevant. If A's coach was aware of the foul situation, you could be that A wouldn't want to let B get a FT not earned.

Camron, this in no way falls on B's coach. Bottom line, correctable error rule in this situation screws Team B out of a possession. The rule is bad. That is why it is incumbent upon us as officials to stay on top of the team foul situation so that this does not happen.
