Correctable Error

Even if the clock has started and then stopped again for a foul or violation, the error is still correctable. The starting of the clock is not the end of the "statute of limitations" for correcting the error. The error can be corrected until the first dead ball (after the proper starting of the clock) has become live.

and award the ball to the team that was fouled at the designated spot nearest where the foul occurred. Do not go to the arrow. That's the point of interruption---where the game was stopped to award the unmerited FT.

The point of interruption is where the game was stopped to correct the error (NCAA 2-11-4). In this case, the game was interrupted after the second successful free throw. Since we are going to cancel that free throw, there is no team control and we don't know who would have gotten possession after the first missed free throw. So we have to go to the arrow.

A.R. 21 in Rule 2-11.1b in the NCAA rulebook covers this exactly.

As someone else pointed out, AR 21 does not apply at all. The applicable AR is AR 23(b). This is the exact situation that we're talking about.
