This precise situation has been discussed before (within the last month). Not only would 4 of 5 officials do the "re-do" thing, there would be fewer than 1 out of 10 coaches who would complain (regardless of score) since they know it is the "fair thing to do."
We have a correctable error situation in which a team can get fouled on a non-shooting foul, score on an inbounds play, have the horn sound (with the scorer informing the officials that the previous foul was the SEVENTH team foul, and therefore the 1+1 should have been shot), have the team that just scored shoot and make both ends of the 1+1 for a FOUR (4) point play, YET we cannot correct our own boo-boo in situation of the wrong team inbounding.
I am convinced that the Rules Book writing team wants to keep the "Corrrectable Error" section nice, short or succint. We can only correct something having to do with free throws.
As several have said, the NF Rules Book was never put to a "Logic" Test.
