Really??? What makes it dead?--The official incorrectly saying two shots? I don't think so. It was supposed to be 1-and-1 and the ball was properly made live during the FT and remains live on the miss. I disagree 100% with your assertion that the ball is dead at this time.

Yep, the case play definitely is clear, "
Play should be whistled dead immediately..." The ball clearly isn't already dead. It needs to be whistled dead.

This play is analogous to our previous discussion of that FT violation and my position is exactly the same as it was in there.
BY RULE this is a legal goal and there is nothing in the book that permits the official to cancel the score after it has happened. However, a good official will bend the rules in this situation.
