I'm not agreeing or disagreeing but I think here is the comparison Kajun is trying to put across:
- common foul committed (7th team foul) but scorer doesn't notify officials one-and-one should be shot. Failure to award merited free throws. Correctable error situation
- 2nd delay warning administered. Scorer doesn't notify officials that this is 2nd warning and technical foul should be shot. Is this a failure to award merited free throws?
Kajun, Would this be the concept your are trying to get across?
Oops, just saw that you already posed the same scenario. At least give me credit for reading your mind.
