I think someone's point (but I could be wrong) is that they would (or wouldn't) allow a coach to request a TO even after a made basket.
While all this is a nice "fantasy", it will never happen -- the coaches like the rule as it is and won't give up the ability to request TO.

My point was...and correct me if I am wrong....when the ball checks through the net on a field goal, it becomes dead and then instantly alive for the purposes of the correctable error rules.

For the record, the ball is always either dead or live....but never
ALIVE.
