Situation.
B is in the bonus, (a)1-1 or(b)2 shots. A1 is called for a reach in foul on B1. The table fails to notify the officials. The officials award the ball out of bounds to team B for a throw in. Play continues for several minutes with points being scored by both teams. With 1 second left in the game, with the game tied, B1 fouls A1 on a shooting foul. The error is then noticed and reported by the table in not awarding B1 his bonus free throws. Correctable? And what is the procedure following the error?
I would think it is a correctable error. The free throws are merited by B1 because the error was discovered before the ball became live following the first dead ball.
B1 would shoot his/her 1-1 or 2 shots with the lane cleared.
Then play would resume at the point of interruption with A1 shooting 2 free throws.
