It was an incorrectly applied rule that created a CE situation...and isn't that how all CE situations are created?
The error - awarding an unmerited FT - could have been corrected until the first dead ball after the clock properly started.
The interesting thing is we don't see the moment the window closed on this clip. The clock didn't start on the foul after the FT, nor should it have since the foul was commited prior to any player touching a live ball while it was inbounds.
The next dead ball after the clock properly started came 28 seconds in game time later. Minn #55 shot - and missed - the front end of his one-and-one then there was a foul commited by MSU with 1:17 left in the half.
