To be totally pedantic...

* If the foul occurred before the release, the ball is dead immediately and no free throw can be scored. Report the foul, clear the lane, the shooter will re-shoot the free throw that was interrupted, and if made will shoot the "and 1". Then go shoot for the new foul.
* If the foul occurred after the release, but before the ball goes through the basket, the ball remains live until the try ends, count the basket. Report the foul, clear the lane, the shooter gets the second free throw. Then go shoot for the new foul.
* If the foul occurred after the ball passed through the basket, the ball is dead and unless the contact is deemed intentional or flagrant it is ignored.

In all cases the original free throw shooter is entitled to shoot all of the free throws that were originally awarded.
