My question is: was the referee right to cancel the 2 free throws the fouled player had to execute, and gave 2 free throws to the opposing team?
In my oppinion the fouled player should have had his 2 throws and after that the 2 throws for the opposing team, and the possesion of the ball.
Can anyone clear this up? Thanks!

Assuming that your opponents were in team penalty situation (fifth and subsequent fouls in the quarter), the penalties for the two fouls were, in chronological order:
(1) two FT for your team mate;
(2) two FT and throw in at division line for your opponents.
Since the two penalties are different, both must be executed. No cancellation. If your opponents were not in team penalty situation, the penalty (1) would have been a throw in, which would have been cancelled due to the subsequent FT for your opponents.
