I've always thought this was a flaw in the review process. As one miss is correctable and the other is not, the end result becomes farther from the correct answer than the initial ruling was.

The Lakers lost a game some years back, hampered by essentially this play. In late game, OOB was awarded to the Lakers. Review showed clearly that the it was last touched by a Laker -- and that there was a foul. Only the OOB was correctable. I *think* the NBA subsequently tweaked its rule to prevent that scenario, but I could be wrong.

Still have to eat it.
