I'm not following you on this one.
The ball is not dead, so that argument doesn't fly unless you are talking to someone who hasn't read the case plays.
The official awarded one and one, not two, so the ball is live on the miss. What "should" have happened is irrelevant.
I can see the argument that the ball going through constitutes a change of possession since A is about to get the ball due to the made score, but there's no possession yet so the argument could go either way. The rebound off the free throw should also be a change in possession, since A had the ball for a shot and B got the rebound (how in the hell else do you define a change in possession?)
There absolutely was a "rebound," since the officials awarded/announced a one and one rather than 2. The thing about CEs is they do not go back and re-write history, they simply proscribe a pattern to use when fixing the error.
