You mean to tell me that if the lead official steps in and starts to pick up the ball after the first shot and A1 takes it out of his hand and scores, you would count the basket since there was no whistle?

A shot is not awarded until it is taken. Still I am partial to the philosophy that the ball is dead on the miss. The players are not responsible for bookkeeping and knowing whether it should be 1+1 or 2. They go by what the ref/table says. If the ref says 2 and most/all players play as it were two, the ball is dead. The player who shot the ball shot a dead ball.... no basket.
