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.

I agree that the "T" is a bookkeeping mistake but disagree on taking off the points. The bookkeeping mistake resulted in awarding unmerited free throws. Why wouldn't that be correctable?
In your scenario the player doesn't become DQ'd until the the table notifies the official and the official notifies the coach. All points would stand in this case.
In the "T" scenario we can correct the unmerited free throw and any activity before the recognition of the error. I would say the "T" happened before the error was recognized therefor I would wipe the "T."
