If it wasn't by that time, once the ball was thrown in again, or rebounded after a missed FT, it would have been too late. An alert table would have sounded the horn while the ball was in play, assuming it didn't interrupt a scoring chance, and the error could have been corrected.
It would be too late once the ball "became live" just prior to your two instances. It would have been live prior once at the disposal of the thrower prior to "thrown in again", and live at the disposal of the shooter prior to "rebounded after a missed FT". Nits picked.

The scorebook is kept by a kid or coach at the bench. Not a very good officiating environment.
Oh I hear ya bruddah! I hear ya!
