Nope, terminology again.
"Another free throw is to follow" which I have to presume is language that you are paraphrasing from 6-7-2, means that due to the game action another FT attempt actually will occur after the current one is completed. It does not mean that an official mistakenly stated such.

You really need to stop putting your own personal meaning into these phrases and go with what the NFHS intends them to mean. You can deduce that from the play rulings and interpretations that the NFHS has issued in the past. Doing so will greatly help both your understanding and adminstration of the game.

So the NFHS intends for team A to get a free basket because of the official's mistake? I think your are putting too much emphasis on the phrase "whistled dead immediately."

If we go the route you suggest, every player should try to rebound every FT and shoot it in hopes of getting a free shot...even if everyone says it should be two...just in case an error is found.

The NFHS does state that they do not intend one team to get an advantage not intended by the rules.

Camron,
You've already stated that you know what the NFHS ruling is on such a situation, but you wish that they would alter it. While the current ruling does have some downside, I believe that neither of us has any trouble understanding it and properly enforcing it. Let's not twist the topic into the realm of the theoretical and the hypothetical. Let's focus on how to correctly handle it under the current rule.
Talking about anything else in this thread could well serve to further confuse officials such as JAR.

BTW I would argue that an unsporting technical foul would be appropriate for a player who did as you suggest. That action is clearly not within the spirit of fair play.
