Correctable Error?

College game. A1 shoots and is fouled. Coach B goes a little bonkers and gets a "T". Officials administer shooting foul shots first. After both are completed, Coach B "reminds" officials that "T" shots should have been first. Officials agree. What do you do if:

A) both FT's were made
B) first FT made, second missed

Under NFHS rules, the shots WOULD NOT be shot again, if they were shot in the incorrect order per NFHS rules.

I do not believe they would be re-shot in NCAA either.

If the 2nd shot is made (1st shot is irrelevant), you give the ball to B after the T shots. If the 2nd shot is missed, you go to the arrow after the T Shots. Now, I don't know where you'd put the ball in play here, under A's basket?

After talking with about 30 officials regarding this issue, only one thing is clear. This seems to be a gray area.

Here's my take. Because the shooter of the first two FT's was not chosen by the captain and/or coach, FT's were awarded to the wrong player, therefore are unmerited and are correctable.

Re-shoot the "T" FT's, then line everybody up and shoot the foul shots.

I DON'T think you can take the results of the first two and apply them after the second two are shot. Please find in the rule book where it says that one.
