Is it too late to admit to being a coward?
And I don't like the rule, but I don't have a better one. Perhaps adding an exception that nullifies correctability at the end of a period when the team that was awarded the free throws cannot be given its due possession. Or, conversely, an exception for the end of period which directs the officials to grant team A possession of the ball w/o using the arrow to begin the next quarter. The second scenario seems simpler, but the first would address the issue if it happened at the end of a game.
Even if I felt for sure that it was still correctable, I'm sure I wouldn't have had the cajones to make the fix unless coach B mentioned it.
To me, it's like ignoring the kid with his toe on the free throw lane for 5 seconds; except you don't get to ignore the coach when he brings it to your attention.
