Yes, that is what I described. Only to make the point that while the ball is supposed to be dead on a missed free throw when one is to follow, and the rule actually says that it is, it really isnt if the officials screw up and allow play to continue. I read one of your posts to mean once the first free throw was missed, nothing else that happened after that counted cause ball dead...or supposed to be.
There were a lot of mistakes that's for sure. Correctable errors are bad....
