FT Correctable Error Question.
Heres the situation:
Team A fouls Team B which puts Team B in the double bonus. Ref tells players it will be 'two shots'. Team B shoots and misses the 1st FT, but a few players evidently forgot it was a two shot foul. This leads to a scramble to get the rebound. Team B gets the offensive rebound and immediately scores it with a foul called on Team A. Team A's coach brings to the refs attention that it was supposed to be a two shot foul. Refs huddle and decide it's a correctable error. They award the two points to Team B and the foul on Team A. Then also lets Team B shoot the free throw that wasn't initially awarded. So if the ball was not supposed to ever be live, how can they count the basket? Also, team A's coach made the point that some players didn't play the missed free throw because they knew it was two shots, while others were playing it 'live' (wrongly), how is that fair to punish the players who played it as instructed by the ref? Was this the right call? Thanks for any help. |
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) |
If the official administering free throws verbalized “two shots” this is just a mix up by players. Why wouldn’t they just blow it dead and shoot the second shot immediately?

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. |
Double Correctable Error ???

Isn't that what many thought? |

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. |

How Long ???
Quote:
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? |

See my point 4 above. |
Just Kidding ...

I'm a bit confused about how the official indicated 2 shots but yet allowed play to continue and then called a foul.
That said, I think that if the official clearly indicated 2 shots, then you can justify not scoring the points/ignoring the contact because this all occurred during a dead ball. Just because some players react, that doesn't mean the ball became live. |

I’m on board with this philosophy. If “2 shots” was indicated my the administering official then just nullify what occurred during the deadball and shoot the second free throw. Common sense on things like this. If he verbalized something else, it’s a different story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Spell Check ???
