That is how this correctable error would be handled under NBA rules if discovered within 24 seconds.
52. Player A1 is fouled and the officials are notified that Team B has committed five team fouls in the period. Player A1’s first free throw attempt is successful and the second free throw attempt is unsuccessful. However, Player A3 scores a field goal on the rebound of the second free throw attempt. After 24 seconds have elapsed, the officials are notified that the team foul information given was incorrect and no free throw attempts should have been awarded. How is this play administered?
The point scored on the successful free throw attempt is deleted and the points scored on the successful field goal by Player A3 remain. If the error was discovered within 24 seconds, all play in the entire sequence would be deleted, except unsportsmanlike acts and all flagrant fouls and points scored there-from.
RULE 2 - SECTION VI - A (3)
