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.

So, the question is assuming that we already know that there is a predetermined outcome after the FTs such as the T/flagrant/intentiona/etc? Therefore, its asking "would the players in such a situation ever line up in the lanes?"
