bob's post from the previous thread sums it up for me (my bold):

The official rules that the pass-off by A1 is not a factor as it was not the original intent and only the result of the contact by B1. RULING: A1 is awarded two free throws for the foul committed by B1. COMMENT: Provided the official deems that A1 was in the act of shooting when fouled (the player had begun the motion which habitually precedes the release of the ball for a try), the subsequent pass-off is ignored.

I've heard no contradiction to this ruling.
In the OP, we're shooting 2 shots.
