Okay, here's what happened to me in my game tonight. I was coaching.
Boys 7-8 game. Overtime with 7.3 seconds left.
A1 is on the line for the second shot of a 1 and 1 bonus. Score is 35-32 in favour of B.
A1 attempts to glance a shot off the rim, but FT goes up and doesn't hit the rim. Offials do not call the missed rim. A2 rebounds the ball, kicks it out to A3 who nails a 3 pointer to re-tie the game. Official signals the made 3 and the buzzer sounds as the ball drops through the hoop.
Coach B is yelling that there was no rim. Official comes to ask my opinion (since when do officials ask coaches for their opinions) as to whether this was a correctable error or not.
I suggested that since the buzzer was the first dead ball after the made basket, that this was a correctable error, since the basket never should have counted in the first place because of the missed rim on the 2nd FT. Therefore, reset the clock to 7.3 seconds and hand the ball to B under A's basket. Final score 35-32.
Although I wasn't officiating this game, would this have been the right call?
