I went to a Gerry Davis clinic many years ago and asked about this. He used the term "gross miss" and indicated that a "gross miss" could not be corrected by "last time by".

I also asked about it at an NCAA clinic. Yeast (who was in charge at the time) indicated that a "gross miss" could be corrected by "last time by" in NCAA.

As far as I can recall, both used that term (with examples).
