Following your line of reasoning, you're now going to clear the lane, shoot the second, and then use the arrow?

I assuming that it was supposed to be a 2 shot foul. If so, then in the scenario you list wouldn't result in a change of possession. If no change of possession happened then you would just simply line the players back up for the second throw and play on. That would be the POI.
