NF rules. Team A is in double bonus and A1 is at line to shoot two. Official mistakenly signals one and one. A1 misses the first shot and it is rebounded by B1. B1 goes the length of the court and makes a layup. Scorer immediately sounds horn (team A does not go to get the ball and the official does not place it at their disposal) and informs officials that there should have been a second free throw and also that he did not start the clock on the rebound. Official tells team B this is a correctable error, the basket doesn't count and they are going back to shoot the second free throw. B1 takes ball and kicks it into stands. Official calls technical on B1.
What happens next?

If B1 is the "only" one that reacted to the missed FT, then the officials are correct (but for the wrong reason).
IF "all" the players and officials reacted to the missed FT, then the officials have the right reason, but the wrong ruling.
In either case B1 gets a T.
If somewhere between "only B1" and "all players and officials" reacted, then the officials must decide.
