These 2 case plays are very similar but with different results.

Case Play 2.10.1 Situation H

A1 is fouled by B1 while in the act of shooting and the try or tap is successful. The administering official erroneously awards and announces two free throws instead of one. A1's first attempt is unsuccessful and B1 rebounds. Play continues briefly with B1 advancing the ball before the official recognizes the error and stops play.

Ruling: Since A1 has attempted the merited free throw he/she was entitled to, there is no further correction to be made. Play shall resume with a throw-in by Team B at the out-of-bounds spot nearest to where the play was interrupted.

Case Play 8.6.1

A1 is about to attempt the first of a one-and-one free throw situation. The administering official steps in and erroneously informs players that two shots will be taken. A1's first attempt is unsuccessful. The missed shot is rebounded by: (a)B1, with all other players motionless in anticipation of another throw....The officials recognize their error at this point.

Ruling: In (a) the officials error clearly put one team at a disadvantage.... Play should be whistled dead immediately and resumed using the alternating-possession procedure.

Both cases have the official providing errorneous information. Both cases have the shooter missing the first shot and the defense rebounding the ball.
However, in 2.10.1.H we resume play at the point of interruption. In 8.6.1 we go with the AP arrow.

Questions:

Am I to assume that in Case Play 2.10.1.H that both teams attempted to get the rebound? If so, I wish they had made that clear.

If team A did not attempt to get the rebound would this not be handled exactly the same way as in 8.6.1? AP Arrow?
