ART. 2 . . . In order to correct any of the officials' errors listed in Article 1, such error must be recognized by an official during the first dead ball after the clock has properly started.

Original situation indicated that there was a foul, A called TO, then ball was put in play, shot made, error noted. This is still correctable. A's timeout occurred during the deadball associated with the original foul call. Clock has not yet started. the clock starts when A inbounds, and then when A scores, we are in a correctable error situation until B has ball at disposal. At that point, ball is once again live and you can't correct anything.

As an aside, this is one of the more sides of correctable error that I don't like. Team A received possession as a result of the foul and subsequently scored, but will now also get to shoot the FTs as a result of the same foul. Seems like they are getting a 2 for 1 deal because of an error. People like to think of crrectable error as "righting a wrong," but some of the corrections seem just to perpetrate anther wrong IMO.
Thank you for all of your responses. I agree with the aside and have found some who "rule" so as not to give the 2 for 1 deal deal. Clearly this is wrong and going against the rule 2.10.1.
Prevention- good pre game and talking with the table before the game is the best preactice approach. Once a situation occurrs- the best we can do is to be consistant, following the rule and communicate.
OK time to go watch so HS play off games and learn from the VETS
