Yes, that would be the correct case play. It was intially posted on the NFHS website as an interpretation prior to appearing in the case book for the first time. Since the officials error placed Team B at a disadvantage, the ball is dead immediately and the basket is cancelled. No, it isn't a correctable error but the case book states that the play should be blown dead immediately. We aren't going to further penalize Team B because we didn't blow the whistle quickly enough.
