Your recap is my rationale If the officials hadn't erred Team A would not have scored FG. I just don't like the feel of a team having a throw-in when then they should have been shooting 1-and-1, they hit a three, the horn sounds, now they hit 2 free throws. A 5-point play b/c of an officiating error.

I just feel that if they score on a possession that should never have occurred then it is redundant to then go back and give them some free throws.

(and please, no one re-hash the old "the other team's coach should have spoken up" crappola argument )
