FT Correctable Error Question.

[Raymond]

Another correctable error solution where a team gets disadvantaged due to a failure of the officials to properly do their job. I'm sure someone will come along and say this is somehow the fault of the coaches that the situation arose.

(seems the forum had some database issues and a recovery was performed)

Yes I see that -- and it also seems to have lost my response to this situation posted earlier this morning, after the recovery.

In any event,

1) No one in the discussion this weekend, at least that I saw, came close to blaming the coaches.

2) If the referees allowed play to continue, then it's a correctable error.

3) If the referees stopped (or attempted to stop) play, then it's not -- and the second basket and foul do not count.

4) Yes, there's some judgment about the timing and efforts to "attempt to stop" -- to address an "immediate tip-in" type play.

Some continued play? According to some, the error of the field goal being scored isn't correctable, it's only the second free throw not being taken that is correctable?

Isn't that what many thought?

Bob is saying that if the officials allow the play to continue which culminates with a score and foul being called, we then follow the correctable error rule, which would mean the subsequent basket and foul do not get wiped out.

If the officials blow their whistles immediately in attempt to halt the play, we don't have a correctable error situation, we have a dead ball and none of the subsequent actions counts.

Even if it's an immediate tip in? If that's the case, then all teams will try this on the missed first shot of two shots.

What's immediate? How long does play have to continue? The original post situation could have happened in less than a second, although the word "scramble" may add a second to that. All happening while many players believed that it was two shots, as stated by the official, and don't rebound, or defend?

Stop it. Last time you tried this post, you broke the board.

See my point 4 above.

I was just kidding. Now Al Gore is really pissed at me.

It's my smart-a$$ reference to the fact that officials in this forum blame other correctable error situations on the coaches not bringing it to the attention of the officials that there is a mistake when the table misinforms the crew.

I don't think "blame" is the right word here -- at least not to me. It is true that what looks like an advantage can turn into a disadvantage when a CE situation is recognized after the fact.
