Does the first free throw already made count or is it a "do-over" (so to speak).
The coach of the player with 5 fouls argues, “The first made free throw shouldn’t have counted. There’s an illegal player on the court. Whether it’s the fault of the scoring table, it’s a correctable mistake and the shot shouldn’t have counted.”

You "fix" this, as soon as it's brought to your attention by simply removing the disqualfied player.
2-11-NOTES-2: "The procedure if a player who has committed his/her fifth foul continues to play because the scorer has failed to notify the official is as follows: As soon as the scorer discovers the irregularity, the game horn should be sounded after, or as soon as, the ball is in control of the offending team or is dead. The disqualified player must be removed immediately. Any points which may have been scored while such player was illegally in the game are counted. If other aspects of the error are correctable, the procedure to be followed is included among the duties of the officials. "
