U2 was at table instructing clock operator to put .6 seconds on clock.
During this time, the R (thinking there was no time left) had told the players to "Clear the Lane" for A1's FT attempts.
A1 made his first FT, with no players on the lane.
U2 blew whistle and informed the R that there was indeed .6 seconds left in game.
NOTE: We all know that the Officials should have slowed down and got together BEFORE the FT action...but, they did not.
Sooooo, how are you going to administer this without one of the Teams protesting that a rule was miss-applied? (This game went into 3 OTs)

No one seems to have noticed that the crew actually misapplied
TWO rules.
According to 5-10-1 the
REFEREE may correct an obvious timing mistake, so the U2 should have informed the R of the time that he observed and let the R go to the table to make the correction instead of going to the table himself. This would have prevented the FT problem as communication amongst the officials about the timing issue would have occurred prior to the FT administration.

both of these mention that the free throw was merited and the error is not a correctable error...it is an officials error.

I agree with this and these are the same rule references that I would use.
Others situation that I could conjure would be the officials awarding a throw-in to the wrong team or awarding a throw-in at the wrong spot. For example, an intentional personal foul occurs in the FT lane in the backcourt and following the FTs the crew administers the throw-in at the division line.
All of these are incorrect and mistakes by the officials, but none of them are correctable errors.
