Comminication is KEY

Outside of better communication is there any other solution to this situtation?

Tie ball game, 30 seconds to go. The lead official calls a foul against the defense on a rebound/tap situation. As center, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a 2-shot foul or just a 1 and 1, but I went to get the shooter regardless. When my partner turned, he signaled for 2 shots. I told the shooter and rebounders that we had 2 shots at least twice and then bounced the ball. Of course, he missed the first one. As I was going to retrieve the ball, one of the shooter's teammates rebounded it and layed it up and in as the defense remained stationary.

My partner who had called the foul came in to inform me that it was supposed to be a 1 and 1, so the basket had to count. Is this right? Is there any other way to resolve the situation?
