I'm having problems understanding the NFHS rule 2-10 covering correctable errors. 2.10.4 seems to conflict with 2.10.5. I am probably making it too complicated, so I need help.
2.10.4: If the error is a free throw by the wrong player or at the wrong basket, or the awarding of an unmerited free throw, the free throw and the activity during it, other than unsporting, flagrant, intentional or technical fouls, shall be canceled
States the free throw and the activity during it....shall be canceled.
2.10.5: Points scored, consumed time and additional activity, which may occur prior to the recognition of an error, shall not be nullified. Errors because of free-throw attempts by the wrong player or at the wrong basket shall be corrected by applying 8-1 and 2.
states Points scored, ........shall not be nullified.
Seems like art. 4 says the activity during the free throw shall be canceled, but art. 5 says points scored shall not be nullified.
Does this mean that points are not part of the activity of a free throw?
HELP!!!!
