"Because B1 violated, in all cases, a substitute throw is awarded if the free throw attempt by A1 is unsuccessful". In situation A,C, the shot was never taken so you cannot say it was unsuccessful.

Bart,Rule 4-20-3 says a FT ends when the ball becomes dead.Rule6-7-5 says that the ball becomes dead when an official's whistle is blown.Casebook 6.7.5A says the same thing.According to this language,the FT was taken.It was ended by the inadvertant whistle.Now you have to straighten out the mess.Because B1 violated,you can ignore the inadvertant whistle and readminister the foul shot by giving a replacement FT for the violation.This(I think)fits the language of CB6.7.5.As I said,if you do otherwise you could possibly be penalizing B twice for committing one violation,or awarding an extra shot for the official's screwup..If A commits a FT violation at any time after the inadvertant whistle,but before the first replacement FT ends,A will still get a free FT--even though both teams have violated.That doesn't seem to fit the spirit and intent of the rules.
