Still I've had it happen where I was counting, thought we should be shooting two, but the table said 1+1. I went to the table, had them recount and recount again. They had 9 fouls. We shoot 1+1. A1 missed the first. B rebounds, outlets to midcourt, where they call timeout. (They were now down by 1 with under 5 seconds to go). B draws up a play for a winning two pointer. At the end of the timeout, the neutral scorer says..."Uh, ref, I messed up. It should have been two." Crap. We go back to the line for A1's 2nd shot...which is made. B's winning play is now only good for a tie and they've already burned the timeout.
