If it had been a correctable error, you would have still been in the time frame (unless someone had scored during the period you summarize with the phrase, "play resumes.") It's not a correctable error, though, because it's not on the list (2.10). Let's all recite it from memory, 1) wrong shooter, 2) wrong basket, 3) giving an unmerited free throw, 4) not giving a merited free throw, 5) erroneously counting or cancelling a score. I really, truly did that by heart, I hope you're all impressed!
You tell the coach, "I'm sorry. But you'll get the next two out of three to make up for it." If he's still scratching his head about that at the end of the game, you know his I.Q. is... well, never mind.
