Normally, on the last free throw of a set (one-and-one, two shots, three shots), the ball remains live on the miss, thus allowing the players to rebound.
However, if the possession following the free throws is predetermined (technical fouls, flagrant fouls, intentional fouls, free throws shot with time expired), it will become dead on the miss.
Consider the sequence of live ball/dead ball here.
Free throw.
1. Ball is dead.
2. Ball becomes live when shooter gets ball.
3. a) If basket is made, the ball becomes dead.
b) If basket is missed and no more shots follow, ball normally remains live.
It's the exceptions to 3b that are discussed in this question.
