My take away from this is that while we may have the same number of total free throws (due to two instead instead of one and one), we may have fewer free throw "activity events" (lining up kids on lane lines for each event). Of course, as JRutledge stated earlier, the shot clock will also have an impact on free throw "activity events" that may be hard to gauge, fewer free throw "activity events" due to a reluctance to foul (steeper penalty), or more due to a faster up-tempo shot clock game.
