My opinion: The correctable error rule is written so *both* coaches have an incentive to get it right before the error occurs. Coach B in the original play might have felt he was getting a break ("Hey -- they're letting us shoot FTs -- if we make them, keep quiet; if we miss then we'll bring up the error.") His (if he knew) failure to speak up ended up costing him.
There are many examples where a slight change in the circumstances can end up costing one team or the other.
