Your posting implies the scorer buzzed you before the inbound from the Technical foul, so at that point I would wipe-off the first shot, live with the second two, and get the game started as fast as possible.
I'm sure Mark or Cammron or one of those guys will give us the straight scoop.

In order to correct the first 4 correctable errors (which includes FT's), the statue of limitations is first dead ball after clock starts.
Before second live ball is for counting/cancelling a score when clock is running.
Assuming you applied the two dead ball standard (without the clock running), this would be an uncorrectable error because (6-2-1c) the ball is live when at the disposal of the shooter. We would have had error (unmerited FT), dead ball #1, T shot 1, dead ball #2, T shot 2, dead ball #3. Since the second T shot would be the second live ball, the error would have to be discovered before the ball was handed to the shooter.
