A play for clarification

You could have called it a CE situation and resumed from the POI, which would be a throw-in for A on the OOB violation by B (2.10.1J). But a better solution would be to treat it as "erroneous information," kill it immediately, and go to the arrow (8.6.1).

But either way in this case it sounds as if A will get the ball — only question is whether they give up the arrow to get it.

If the official indicates and verbalizes 2 shots and no players react to the missed free throw there is absolutely no way that you can then penalize Team B with an OOB violation. The ball is dead when the free throw ended. Only correct way to proceed is with the AP arrow.

It is not a CE b/c no unmerited free throws were shot.

And this situation is why we need to quit paying so much attention to the coaches. Any communication with the coach could have and should have waited until the calling official had completed and comfirmed all communication with his partner.
