2-10-1: Correctable Errors: Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and results in:
a. Failure to award a merited free throw.
b. Awarding an unmerited free throw.
c. Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw.
d. Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket.
e. Erroneously counting or canceling a score.
Agree with JRutledge, but with some reservation.
Can we use NFHS 2-3: Referee’s Authority?
NFHS 2-3: Referee’s Authority: The referee must make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules.
Not really because this situation is "somewhat" covered in the rules (six on court is a technical foul; not listed as a correctable error, in fact, not only is it not listed as correctable, is it an actual error by the official inadvertently setting aside a rule).
But is the situation (extra player illegal advantage) "specifically" covered?
This sticks in my craw: Purpose and intent: A team should not be permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule.
