Scorers table calls me over and says there is a mistake and there are now only 6 fouls for team A instead of 7. Can I count the missed shot as the first of the technical foul? Or do I start over with the 2 technical fouls only with any team B player shooting them?

Certainly B1 was
instructed to shoot the FT for his "1 and 1". Given that B gets to choose who shoots for the T, stating that the first missed shot was given in error and that
now we will shoot 2 for the T is the correct way to go. The scorekeeper interrupting the game to get the official's attention also clearly shows that the right thing to do is start over with 2 shots.
