Official blows whistle, sends player out, explains errors to coaches, beckons sub to the free throw line to shoot.
Now...
1.) Is this a correctible error?
2.) What should be done with the first successful free throw point? leading to...

SITUATION 5: A1 is fouled in the act of shooting and is awarded two free throws. A1 is injured on the play and Team A's coach has been beckoned on the floor to attend to A1. Although by rule A1 should leave the game until the next legal opportunity to substitute, the oficials make an error and permit A1 to complete the free thorws before leaving. The opposing coah objects and insists that A1's substitute should have shot the free throws, and a correctable error has occurred. RULING: The officials made3 an error by permitting A1 to remain in the game. This is not a correctable error for a wrong player to attempt a free throw, even though A1 is required to leave the game by rule.
