True, but personally, my threshold for "immediately" changes based on what the official says. If he says "two shots," and they blow the whistle within a couple of seconds (how many don't have their whistle in their mouth on the first of two?), which is all it takes for B to get most of the way down the floor, I consider that immediately.
If the official says "one" and everyone goes for a rebound, then it's a correctible error as soon as the ball is rebounded.
