I was not able to notify the officials until after the second throw. I told the officials that was his fifth, and he was removed before the T shots. The question, if I was able to notify the officials about the fifth foul before his free throws, what should have happened?

Cancel both of A's made FT's and have his substitute re-shoot them after A has been replaced. Team B will then get their 2 FT's and the ball for a throw-in at center... for A's technical foul.

The error was correctable as it was permitting the wrong player to attempt a free throw( as per NFHS rule 2-10-1c ), and it can be corrected as the error was caught before the first dead ball after the clock started(as per NFHS rule 2-10-2). You correct it using NFHS rule 2-10-4 also, thus cancelling A's FT's.

Also see case book play 2.10.4.

That's the only way to do it, rules-wise.
