Free throw administration

[Jburt]

Situation:

B1 drives to the basket and is fouled in the act of shooting by A1. Basket is no good. A coach reacts to call and is awarded a technical foul. Referee makes both shooting foul and technical foul calls and reports to table.

While R is reporting U1 (two whistle game) administers free-throws. He incorrectly awards technical free-throws first. B2 makes the first and misses the second. Mistake is realized by R. After conferencing, both officials conclude that they will re-shoot free throws starting with the common foul and than technical, erasing the scored points by B2.

Is this correct?

Not trying to be an appendage here, but is your opinion? Do you think that an error was/wasn't made?

[Jburt]

I'm not really sure. it seems logical, but the idea of erasing scored points doesn't sit right with me.

[JugglingReferee]

There's probably a reason that it doesn't sit well with you. What is that reason?

[Jburt]

it doesn't seem correct

Is there any harm in player shooting fouls shots out of order?

Is there any harm if a wrong player shoots a free throw?
