In overtime, without noticing, the players line up the wrong way for a jump ball and then a kicked ball is called on the visiting team, but no one ever established possession. After finding out that the players were lined up the wrong way the official felt that they had a violation that negated the jump ball situation, and since the violation was going to give the home team the ball, then they felt like the possession arrow should be given to the visiting team. Can the jump ball situation be a correctable error even though you have a violation or is the jump ball not a correctable error because of the violation?
Thanks in advance.

John,
Two addtional points.
One. In going the wrong direction, all points scored, fouls committed, and time consumed shall count as if the team had gone the proper direction.
Two. Be careful what you call a "Correctable Error." Correctable Errors are specifically enumerated in 2-10-1 and only involve free throws and scoring. There are only five (5) as follows:
Failure to award a merited free throw.
Awarding an unmerited free throw.
Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw.
Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket.
Erroneously counting or canceling a score.
Additionally, the administration of these is somewhat complicated.
