Apparently the officials at that point stopped the game, confirmed the 5th foul on B1, B1 left the game, and the officials reset the action with Team A throwing the ball in from the original spot. Basket was not awarded.
My thinking is two-fold:
1. The table should not have buzzed the horn during the shot and should have waited until a dead ball, but it begs the question, "When does the table have authority to sound the horn and interrupt play?"
2. Secondly, based on how I read correctable errors, the basket should have counted. The DQ player would be removed and play would resume from the POI.
Finally, if the scenario continued on, how would you handle a sixth foul by Player B1 had he fouled on the play?

1) When the ball is dead or at the disposal of or in control of team B.
2) It's not a CE. The rest of this statement is correct.
3) Count the 6th foul, get the player out, resume with the action resulting from the 6th foul (FTs or throw in). The player isn't DQd until the officials are notified, and if they're not notified until the 6th (or 7th...) foul, then whatever happened, happened.
