"Close to the end of the game, a player gets fouled and retaliates by shoving the player who fouled him and gets introduced to "Mr T" for his efforts.

The player who was fouled shoots his free throws and makes both of them, followed by the T shots. After the free throws are all shot, the scorer notifies the officials that the player who got the T (and made 2 free throws) had fouled out.

What do you do?"

OK, we have determined that in this case, the 2 FTs by the player-with-5-fouls-but-not-yet-DQ'd stand.

How about these three situations:
Player A5 has committed his 5th foul as in the OP. He is shooting two FTs as in the OP.
Situation 1: A5 has the ball at his disposal for the first free throw when the trail official is notified of the DQ.
Situation 2: A5 has released the ball for his first FT, but it is clearly not yet to the basket when the trail official is notified of the DQ.
Situation 3: A5 has released the ball on his first FT, as the ball is in the air B1 violates by going below the FT line extended and the ball does not go in. The trail official is notified of the DQ as the ball was in the air.

How are the three situations handled? In Sitch 1 and Sitch 2, does the FT have to complete once the ball is at the disposition of the shooter or in the air or are you going to cancel the FT and have A6 take the FTs? In Sitch 3, does A5 get to take the replacement FT?
