Since the official, by virtue of incorrect information from the table, signaled 2 shots to the players, I would imagine the players would usually go by what they were told and not rebound the ball. If a player DID step in for the "rebound," the refs still expected it to be 2 shots and would more than likely get it back promptly or blow their whistle to do so. No problem--go with the arrow. Now, if the players themselves were thinking TWO shots but were correctly told 1 and 1, then I'd let the players continue by saying "play on" or something like that. But in the original situation, the players have to go by what they were told, not by what they THINK the situation should be. Bottom line, if an "on the ball" player rebounds the ball but everyone else is standing there expecting a second shot, get the ball back and, after being set straight by the table, use the possession arrow.
