"If the request for a substitution is made by either team after the ball is at the disposal of the free-throw shooter for the first free throw, the substitution shall be granted if:
The last free throw is successful.

A foul is committed between free throws. In this case, the free throw(s) shall be completed and the substitution shall be permitted before the new foul penalty is administered, unless otherwise stated in these rules.
