If B commits, we've got a delayed violation signal that precedes it, but that has no bearing once BI occurs because that causes the ball to become dead. Award the score, and then either A1 gets another FT if entitled or you move on to whatever you would have after the lane-cleared throws.
Not quite. Either A or B can commit BI without committing a FT violation. But, it is even more unlikely.....

A1 shoots the FT, the ball hits the rim, rolls around for a while before falling in/out. However, once the ball hit the rim, either A2 or B2 runs in from outside and touches the basket/ball before it falls in/out.

That is exceedingly unlikely (probably never happened in the history of modern basketball) and i'll buy dinner for the first person to see it occur in the wild (you could always fake it for YouTube).
