It seems like we are talking about two different things here.
1. Team B rebounds the ball, and Team A plays defense. Team B sets up a play for a shot and scores horn sounds. As the officials head off the court, Team A coach says "Hey, wait a minute. Weren't we supposed to shoot 2?" At that point the officials have no choice but to have that player shoot the extra free throw with no time on the clock.

2. Team B rebounds the ball. Advances the ball, shoots and scores as time expires. All the while Team A's coach is screaming for the second shot OR Team A is standing around the FT lane waiting for the second shot. In this situation, I am not sure why you would not just bring the ball back, wipe off the FG and play the second shot. Obviously, the clock started before it was supposed to, in which case if you have definite knowledge and can restore the clock. The basket would be wiped out because the ball is not "live" until the second free throw is attempted, therefore you could not have the other team score a basket.

To me these are two different cases. Otherwise, as I coach I would tell my team to ALWAYS rebound the first shot, throw it long and shoot the lay up before the official blows his/her whistle.
