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 (as noted above), such error must be recognized by an official during the first dead ball after the clock has properly been started.
Art. 3
If in article 1e the error is made while the clock is running and the dead ball, 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 the 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 for 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).
