Another Example

Case Play 2.10.1 Situation B

A1 has been awarded two free throws. Errorneously, the ball is allowed to remain in play after A1 misses on the first attempt. A2 rebounds the miss and tosses the ball through the basket. B1 secures the ball and inbounds it. Play continues until a foul is called on A2 as B is passing the ball in B's front-court.

Ruling: The goal by A2 counts, but the error of not awarding A1 a second free throw is no longer correctable....

Now in this case play we both have wording to support are different positions. Notice it says at the beginning of the play that "A1 has been awarded two free throws". Even before he shot the first free throw, the case says he has been awarded two.

It then has language in the ruling that supports your interpretation of "award" in that "the error of not awarding A1 a second free throw is no longer correctable."

I can see where both interpretations work.
