They are down 2 and get he ball back with 15 seconds left and call a time out, while they are in the huddle setting up a play to tie or win the game the official scorer call the refs over and says he made a mistake they DIDN'T have any time outs left. What do you do? Here is what they did they called a TECHNICAL and the other team made both free throws and the game is basically lost. This isn't the refs fault but someone at the scorers table has to be held accountable. How do you handle this? This really happened. I know the coaches have to keep track of the timeouts also so they have to share in the blame. The refs were put in a bad situation.
You just told us what the officials did!!! That's what you do.
