Notice that the casebook play says that the whistle should be sounded immediately. The problem is what if it isn't?

The administering official stated "two." This means he has granted an unwarranted free throw, even though it won't be shot until after this first shot. This is a correctable error.
Also, since he has granted the following shot (however erroneously), the ball becomes dead as soon as the shot has missed.
