Why no support
Where is there a rule that defines "change of possession." I have defined it as when a team is entitled to the ball. What in the rules states that this definition is incorrect? GO ahead and search for an unambiuous definition of this term in the rules - it doesn't exist. so you must interpret and deal with the intent of the correctable error rule in the first place.
You may choose to define change of possession differently and may have logic to support it, but I have yet to see why you would want to define it differently. Think about the spirit of the rule and if my definition of "change of possession" meets that sprit of the rule. Then look at the 3-pointer situation I outlined and ask yourself if that is what the people who wrote this rule would have wanted to occur when correcting an error of not awarding a merited FT. I think that the answer becomes much easier then.
