It would be easy to say....take the points by B off the board, put the 7 seconds back on the clock, and shoot the 2nd free throw and play on. Unfortunately, even though this would be the most fair thing to do, it would be incorrect.

This would be a correctable error (2-10-1-a. failure to award a merited free throw). Therefore you would go back and shoot the free throw.

However, because of 2-10-5, which states....Points scored, consumed time and additional activity, which may occur prior to the recognition of an error, shall not be nullified, you can't do a "do over".

Therefore, in your senerio, count the basket by B, go back and shoot the last free throw by A, and the period is over.
