A "correctible mistake" is a book-keeping mistake that is made by the official scorer.Some examples are counting a 3 point basket a 2,giving the points for a basket or foul shot to the wrong team,charging the wrong player with a foul,charging the wrong team with a time-out,etc.The referee must have firm knowledge that a mistake has been made by the scorer before he can correct it. Book-keeping mistakes can be corrected at any time by the referee until he approves the final score at the end of the game.Covered in Fed R2-11--11.
A "correctible error" is limited to 5 specific situations,and only comes into play when a rule is inadvertantly set aside.These situations are listed in R2-10-1(too lazy to write 'em all down).Correctible errors can only be corrected by an official if they are recognized during the first dead ball after the clock has properly started following the error.After that,they can't be changed.Covered in Fed R2-10.
Basically,there are two seperate classifications,and there are two seperate ways to handle them.

Here's the text of 2.10.1
SECTION 10 CORRECTABLE ERRORS
ART. 1 . . . Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and results in:
a. Failure to award a merited free throw.
b. Awarding an unmerited free throw.
c. Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw.
d. Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket.
e. Erroneously counting or canceling a score.
ART. 2 . . . In order to correct any of the officials' errors listed in Article 1, such error must be recognized by an official during the first dead ball after the clock has properly started.
ART. 3 . . . If in Article 1e the error is made while the clock is running and the ball dead, it must be recognized by an official before the second live ball.
ART. 4 . . . If the error is a free throw by the wrong player or at the wrong
basket, or the awarding of an unmerited free throw, the free throw and the activity during it, other than unsporting, flagrant, intentional or technical fouls, shall be canceled.
ART. 5 . . . Points scored, consumed time and additional activity, which may occur prior to the recognition of an error, shall not be nullified. Errors because of free-throw attempts by the wrong player or at the wrong basket shall be corrected by applying 8-1 and 2.
ART. 6 . . . If an error is corrected, play shall be resumed from the point at which it was interrupted to rectify the error, unless it involves awarding a merited free throw(s) and there has been no change of team possession since the error was made, in which case play shall resume as after any free-throw attempt(s).
