We were thinking, “B got the rebound, then they called TO during that possession, so no change in possession means that you ignore POI and put the ball back in play as you would have had the error not occurred.”

But that only happens when there’s a failure to award a merited FT. It has nothing to do the awarding of unmerited FTs.

So all you whipper-snappers out there (because we’re such a young group on this archaic platform and all), don’t make my mistake.

2-10-6: If an error is corrected, play must be resumed from the point of interruption to rectify the error, unless it involves awarding a merited free throw(s) and there has been no change of team possession since the error was made, in which case play must resume as after any free-throw attempt(s).

I occasionally end up doing table duties for games in which my children are involved. I've gotten a few compliments about a good table crew, keeping things smooth, and I think the local officials really appreciate not having to worry too much that things are out-of-whack there - and have built good rapport with them.

I also occasionally teach a local class on operating Nevco scoreboards and how to be reasonably good with them while being as accurate as possible. It's rather disconcerting when I go to a game (as a spectator) and see a high-function scoreboard and all you see is a clock, two scores, and if you're lucky two team foul counts...

Might be good to mention to the AD's that they consider developing the next generation of table crews too...

Preach it! That bugs me, too. Folks can multi-task on their phones these days like audio technicians in a recording studio. But put them on a scoreboard console and all of a sudden they are feature-limited.

Good luck. Everyone wants to get paid these days. Back in the early 90s when I was in middle school, it was hardly a problem finding table volunteers, let alone income seekers. Not anymore.
