misses first one, B1 rebounds = live ball
A2 steals ball = live ball
B3 rejects shot, B4 has possession = live ball
ball goes out of bounds = dead ball
scorer realizes they made an error on free throws = correctable.

All correct, of course, but doesn't match the (either) case play presented at the beginning.
There's no doubt that the first case is still correctable (so A gets the FTs) -- the question is do you resume with a throw in to B or resume from A's FTs? Does the "unless there has been no change of possession" clause in the rule apply? If you believe the case, then the answer is "yes".

The case book says count the bucket and allow A to shoot bonus free throws. That just sounded wrong to me.

It sounds wrong because it seems (to most) to be "unfair." But, it is correct according to the rule. I have often said that the CE rule is such that *BOTH* teams are incented to get it right before the error because they don't know what will happen after. "("Shh .. don't say anything but A should be shooting FTs and instead they are just taking the ball OOB. ... What do you mean they can now turn this into a 4-point play!? ")
