Assuming it was discovered while the ball was live for the first FT attempt, I've have handled it the same way. Talk to both coaches (quietly), clear the lane, administer the remaining free throws, get the game going again (throw-in should be opposite table, but in some tight-quarters gyms I've worked 7th grade games in, I'd administer tableside for lack of space opposite). I would've at least made a T signal to the table though.
This was my first assumption - in fact I was explaining that to the guy next to me...

Until WE got to shoot 2 as well.

(PS - no, I didn't ask our coach. They are on the other side of the gym, and exit from that side as well. He rarely sticks around more than the amount of time it takes to say, "Good game girls. Practice tomorrow at 6." Then seeeeeyaaa.)
