Z...me and a couple other officials talked about this play on the way to our game last night. One of the officials actually had something similar happen to him when he was coaching his son's AAU team. The only thing different was that it was at the end of the game...and he was able to convince the official to shoot the FT's with .2 sec left.
We came up with an idea. Since the R found out he was mistaken...how about having the kid that didn't get his FT's go ahead and shoot them before the second half starts...then start the second half with the usual AP arrow. You don't get the .2 playing time...but, at least the kid gets his shots, and you could sell it as a correctable error to the other coach. (Afterall, no time has run off the clock since the error.)
