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.

I think it's designed that way on purpose -- so both coaches look for the error and try to get it corrected before the fact. If they don't it could come back to bite them (as in this play).

Not sure both coaches want to see this fixed before the inbounds play, if they undersand the correctable error rule (and if they think the refs will get it right as well). If I am A, I may as well take the possession first, then see if I can't get my FTs as well. If I am B, I may prefer the FTs to a possession anyway, and would certainly prefer FTs to a possession and then FTs to follow. So B could decide not to say anything if they prefer the possession, taking a chance, but A would prefer to wait for the FTs after the possession. Call TO if you are A on the made shot, and you get the 2fer.
