Yea, that's correct by the rule, but I don't know anyone who wouldn't leave the three and thank the scorer for bailing one out.
Also note that the error isn't just in the not signalling. It's also not recognizing that the shot needed a ruling. Being asleep. Watching the wrong area. Or some such thing.

Juulie,
What's the difference between this and giving the ball to the wrong team as in the previous thread?
Are you enforcing the rules or not? (Of course I would do the same thing, but I find your response, ummm, interesting considering the other thread).

In terms of the rules, in this sitch, the "correction" was made before the ball came into play. I mean, the officials (if you include the timer as an official) got the play right, right away. It wasn't error-then-more-play-then-more-play-then-more-play-then-basket and THEN correction. And the end result was that the play was correct right away. Which is a lot different from the previous thread where the officials got it wrong, and didn't don anything about it for a while.
