Under correctable errors, 2-10-1a, Failure to award a merited free throw, the error is correctable. According to 2-10-2,the error must be recognized by an official during first dead ball after clock properly starts. If someone pointed out after ball came in play that there should have been free throws, ref could call time (creating first dead ball after clock starting) and check with table (at which time he can recognize and correct the error). So the original failure could and should have been corrected when pointed out to ref, and no subsequent errors of this nature need have occurred.
The problem here, however, does not sound like one of not knowing what can be done, but an attitude issue. Bad attitude during a game is an error, regardless of who is the bearer of that attitude, but is not usually correctable.
