Mark,
I think you miss understood. I stated after the making the first shot, A1 throws the ball hard off the backboard.
If a player A1 is shooting two freethrows and after making the first shot, throws the ball hard off the backboard with the rebound glancing off the front of the rim. Is this a playable ball or should the ref blow the whistle? I have seen this situation twice and called different both times.

Oops - never claimed I could read!
In this case the ball is playable - as long as the ball hits the rim, it's a legal free throw.

Wait a minute! Thought the ball had to hit the rim first and then could hit the backboard. In this situation, the ball hit the backboard and then the rim. Don't have my rule book with me, but I seem to recall it had to hit the rim first.
