two questions

I have two questions (one about an actual call and one abut a stat in basketball)

Question 1: What would be the the proper call if A1 went up with the ball to shoot but had the ball hit by B1 on the way up and lost momentary control but recovered on the way down before landing and then landed with the ball. Would this be walking, jump ball, or no call?

Question two: When scoring a basketball game or keeping stats for the game how would the following be recorded. A1 is shooting a free throw and A2 is called for a lane violation. Would this count in the official stats as a free throw attempt for A1?

Q1. No call. Be sure you have a good look at the play.
Q2. I'm no basketball statistician, but common sense tells me: no free throw attempted.

Who cares? We're referees, not scorekeepers.
