Reread the rule and list the specific listed correctable errors and you'll find it fits there perfectly.
You are all giving me the reasons I am wrong about 2-10-1 without showing me anything authoritative about the rule.
Let me restate,
2-10-1 "...Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and results in: a. Failure to award a merited free throw.
It seems pretty simple to me.
Was a rule inadvertently set aside? YES
Was there failure to award a merited free throw? Yes.
Correctable Error.
Not only do I believe it is within the
letter of the rule, I also believe it is within the
spirit of the rule. What was the FED's intention? Two free throws on the second delay.
Here is the biggest reason that it should be corrected. We screwed it up and have an oppurtunity to correct it. To not correct it, gives an advantage to the offending team. If you're going to give the second warning the FED wants it to result in two FTs. If we ignore the fact that we can correct this error by rule we are cheating the non-offending team.
