The OP situation occurs and now if the opponent scores (dead ball) the ball is inbounded (live ball) and comes back down the floor and there is another score (dead ball) the ball is inbounded (live ball) and the ball is lost out of bounds, (dead ball) and team a Calls time out, and the scorer or coach asks if that shot was a two or a three you can not correct it because it is outside the period of the correctable error?
I think not - you can get the score right in this situation, because the score has been recorded in the book it can be corrected to be a two or a three at any time. If it isn't in there you may have another issue, but once they write it down it is the scorer's fault whether it is or it isn't.
