It's BOTH a book keeping error and a correctable error. The book keeping error led to unmerited FTs. The correctable error can be fixed if it's caught in time. (With me so far?)
If it's caught in time then the FT's come off, the coach got his TO and we play on, all is well. (Still with me?) If it's NOT fixed (ie caught too late) then the coach paid for that TO with a T. But now we find out that he has 1 more TO due to the book keeping error. He gets that one.

Correcting a foul call (personal or technical) is not a correctable error once it has been enforced. It may be a bad call and it might be a good idea to fix it but it's is not a correctable error. It would, however, be a book keeping mistake. Unfortunately, you can't go back and change points that were actually scored as a result of a book keeping mistake. The only thing in the book that can be changed is the number of timeouts.
To illustrate the point. A5 commits a foul that should have been the fifth foul. The table informs the officials that it is only A5's 4th foul. A5 continues to score 12 points over the next two minutes when it is discovered that $5 has 5 fouls. Is it a bookkeeping mistake? Yes. Do we wipe A5's 12 points? No. Points scored stand.
