But doesn't a foul being committed by anyone other than an opponent of the shooter make the ball immediately dead (no basket)? That would cancel the shot or made basket and give B1 two FTs and the ball near where the foul occured.

A foul by the offense results in an immediate dead ball if the ball is not in flight on a try. If the ball is in flight, then only a foul by the airborne shooter makes the ball dead immediately (no basket). If the foul is by another offensive player, then the ball does not become dead until the try ends (and the basket will count of the try is successful).
