Taking it out of context

You are assuming that I am using 2.10 to fix this. I'm not. I agree it's not a correctable error. However, the T should not have been assessed. In this case the official did set aside a rule just as when we award free throws based on faulty information from the table. The free throws were therefore unmerited although not correctable by 2.10. I say use 2.3 to fix this because this is not directly covered by rule.

Nowhere does the rule book say a T can't be rescinded in this case. The only reference to not rescinding a T is DURING a correctable error, if it involves unmerited free throws or free throws taken by the wrong shooter or at the wrong goal. This does not apply in this case. The T wasn't during a free throw but errorneously caused the free throws to be taken in the first place.

Please site the rule that says a T can't be rescinded.
