I hear my partner's whistle blow just as my arm was going up and A2 saw it and thought he was fouled. I was well aware that A1 was our shooter knowing that I didn't have a foul as lead on the play and called out to both my partners that A1 was our shooter. I retrieved the ball and addressed a player while my partner reported the foul and I verified that it was 1-1 with my partners. I bounced the ball to the shooter stepped back into my position as the shot went up and in. It was then that I realized that A2 was shooting and not A1. I blew my whistle and ran to my partner who made the initial call and asked him who was fouled. He also realized we had the wrong shooter. We put the right shooter at the line for the first of 1-1, but what I think I botched was that even though I waived off the ft after the make I am not sure if the table got the information. It ended up being a 10 point game, but still wish I would have paid better attention.
Now had the table not gotten the info of the first free throw not counting because it was shot by the incorrect player, I could have (or the R) corrected that anytime though out the game? Correct?

Correct. That would be a scoring/bookkeeping mistake.
BTW I put your mistake which led to this CE occurring in red. You took your eyes off the players for a brief moment to do something which we constantly counsel against and it burned you.
