By definition, correctable errors are errors made by the floor officials and there is a defined time period as to when a correctable error can be corrected. In the situation being discussed, all we have is a mistake by one of the floor officials which can be corrected as per JR's post (Post #5). The question that needs to be addressed is whether correcting the scorebook resulted in failure to award a merited free throw and if it did was the correctable error discovered in the defined time period.
