D'oh! Thanks for pointing out the difference.

Let's say this was a normal game, and the original foul was a shooting foul with A1 as the shooter. A2 takes 4 free-throws before anyone notices something is wrong.

Assuming that A2 made fewer than 4 of the FTs, which two do you count? I'd tend to say the first two, but there's also a good case for taking the last two.

I guess the fair resolution would be to take the two shots at which A2 did the worst.
