Had a similar situation today in my game with fifth and sixth graders, their first game of the year. We had four games, and it wasn't until very late in the final period of the last game of the day that we had enough fouls to warrant a one and one. All the previous fouls had been two shots, or one shot, which the kids handled well. Knowing that this was the first one and one these kids had experienced since February, I stated, loudly, and clearly, "One and one. This is our first one of the season, so everybody be ready to rebound on the hit". Of course, kids this age, being kids this age, never listen to adults, and when the first free throw missed, they all just stood there. After a second, or two, the free throw shooter picked the ball up off the floor and made an uncontested layup. Two points. Play on.
Which correctable error did the coach/official believe needed correcting: failure to award a merited free throw, awarding an unmerited free throw, permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw, attempting a free throw at the wrong basket, or erroneously counting or canceling a score?
If you stated, "One and one", then I don't see anything even close to a correctable error here.
