I think we are confusing the "ball becoming live" and a ball ready for play. If ONE official calls time, for what ever reason, play has to stop. If one official is not ready, you shouldn't proceed. I re-ask my question from earlier....If I was the R at the table, and the free throws were administered, and the player missed, and I turn around and here come players down the court, I would have blown my whistle, said I was not ready for play, have them re-line up and shoot the 1 and 1.
If the U in two person is talking to the table, and the R tosses the ball anyway, do you proceed with play? I hope not. I would hope U would tell R, we were not ready to start, and retoss.
If one baseball umpire out of 4 on the field calls time out, for whatever reason, time is out. They don't say 3 out of 4 didn't call time out, so we're going to proceed.
