Let's say, hypothetically, that A1 took the ball and ran the wrong way in this situation. B1, also confused, follows A1 to the basket and fouls her, thinking she's supposed to be defending that particular basket.

Would I be correct in ruling that since A1 shot at the wrong basket, it's not a try, therefore the foul would result in a designated spot throw in for A (assuming A1 misses the shot)?

The aforementioned timing issues don't apply to my hypothetical.

Yes - it doesn't matter what the ball does. Since it's not a try the ball is dead. Unless Team A is in the bonus they don't shoot free throws.

No. So, the the ball is "shot" dead when the player is fouled.
