Here's the order: I was lead. I called the foul. The fouled player was hit in the eye and was hurt, so the coach came out. I went to the table to report while he set up the free throw. After the injured guy was off the floor, there was a substitute shooter. Partner's standing opposite tableside as he's administering (as was his tradition), so I stayed tableside after reporting the foul. Coach is telling me how if we were calling consistently, nobody would be getting whacked in the face. With the delay after the injury and the other jawing going on, I also failed to catch that he was administering a second free throw after a miss. The second shot misses, rebound and putback shot go in. The other team throws the ball in play, and the other coach and (home) table start going nuts. They wanted the basket taken away. I tended to agree that it was uncorrectable.
