From what I can tell in the rule book, yes.
It's not laid out in the rule/case book as to what happens after the first free throw in a sequence is shot but my thought is this falls under 2-12-1a: they were trying to avoid a situation where Team A would not have received a merited free throw. If that's the case then they were well within the guidelines for dealing with a correctable error since the situation can be corrected until the first dead ball after the clock has properly started.
