This is interesting. I only have the NCAA rules, but I think the correctable error (c.e.) stuff is the same. Here's the relevant portion of 2-10:

Art. 4. When an error is corrected, play shall be resumed from the point of interruption to correct the error, unless the correction involves awarding merited free throw(s) and there has been no change of team possession since the error was made. In that case, play shall resume as after any normal free throw.

In this situation, we are awarding merited free throws and there has been no change of team possession, so it seems as though play would resume "as after any normal free throw." With the way the rule is written, one could even argue that the 1-and-1 free throws should be skipped and that you should immediately shoot the other free throws and continue from there! (Disclaimer: I wouldn't actually do this. :-) ) So there are two questions that I see, one of which I think I know the right answer to, and one that I have no idea on:
1) If there is a c.e. awarding of merited free throws on an intentional foul, is possession of the ball part of the correction? Answer: Yes (in my opinion)---this is the way that play would have resumed as "normal," so the c.e. rule supports that.
2) If there is a correctable awarding of merited free throws for A, and the next dead ball is caused by a foul by B after no change of team possession, and A deserves free throws from this foul, what order do we do things? The general principle of "shoot the fouls in the order in which they occur" suggests we do the ones from the c.e. first, but the text of the c.e. rules suggests that we should continue play after the c.e. free throws. This make a huge difference in the current case (where possession comes as part of the penalty of one foul but not the other). Even if both fouls were common, the order in which we shoot them matters.
[/B][/QUOTE]Jeff had the right call. NFHS rule 2-10-5 has corresponding language in NCAA rules--"Points,scored,consumed time and additional activity,which may occur prior to the recognition of an error,shall not be nullified". That means that you are always going to shoot the FT's for the 2nd foul,by rule.You then simply take the occurences in the order that they happened. You go back and let A shoot the 2 FT's for the original B foul,with no one on the lane lines. Then you line them up,and let B shoot the FT's that they have coming.If B wasn't in the bonus,then you would give them the ball OOB after A has finished shooting their 2 correctible FT's.
Note that you have already given Team A the ball OOB after the original Team B intentional foul.Why would you even think of giving them the ball OOB again at the point of correction? That would be 2 OOB's awarded for 1 foul.
See NFHS casebook play 2.10.6SIT(b). It's close to the play above.
