My hang up was the second shot and I would like a rule or casebook citation as this is one area that I agree with your ruling, and mine also makes logical sense as well.
So you are saying that the first FT counts and then the lane is cleared for the second?

Yes, that's what I'm saying. And if B is in the bonus, you'll head to the other end and shoot.
I see no rule basis for disallowing the second shot. This is a classic false double foul, each carrying its own penalty. The penalty for the first is a one and one, which means a second shot if the first is successful. There's no rule that allows the official to negate a part of this penalty. What's your logic?
As for high school, I could see it happening with a hold or push that wasn't intentional. Not likely, as I've never seen it, but it's not unthinkable.
