Correctable

It actually was a correctable error the moment the first T FT was shot...the game had progressed (ball made live) without having awarded FTs what were due. If discovered at that moment, the 1+1 should have been shot then....it wasn't but that isn't a big deal. When an error is discovered, you stop where you are and fix it, then continue after the error is corrected with any throw in or free throw that is still due (with players along the lane if a remaining FT is for a personal foul). When the 1+1 was eventually shot, that was the correction (even if they didn't realize that they were correcting the correctable error). After that, there was no longer anything to correct as all FTs had been awarded to proper shooters (just in the wrong order).

Example: A1 is fouled by B1 with 8 team fouls but is awarded a throw in. A turns the ball over and B3 is fouled while shooting. B3 takes 1 FT. The table informs the officials of the error. Stop. Put A1 on the line for 1+1 with no one on the lane, then come back and finish B3's 2nd FT with players on the lane.
