I was applying the correctable errors rule strictly in terms of live ball/dead ball, clock starting and stopping and so forth. My interpretation is that when the ref handed the ball to the A team player to inbound (before the quarter ended), it became live. Then when the quarter ended, the ball became dead. Now when the ball is handed to B, it becomes live, so the situation is now past correctable.
The difference is that this is not a "correctable error" situation and, as such, the rules on correctable errors do not apply in any way.
Even if they did, the clock has to have started before any correctable error situation can expire. The number of live/dead ball periods is irrelavant if the clock has never started. The only dead ball to live ball transition that matters is the first one that occurs after the clock starts or with the clock running.
There are many things that can be "fixed" by the rules that are not correctable errors.
