"Hey partner. We may have screwed up that throwin a few seconds ago. What do you think? Should you reverse it? You were the administering official."

I've got a good question.

Back to original spot of throwin, or to the point of interruption?

I'm guessing point of interruption, but but with my history of mind reading the NFHS, I'm not betting my villa in Tuscany on it.

If a head coach politely questions the nonadministering official, who is convinced into also questioning the throwin, and then stops the game to discuss with the administering official, and both officials decide that no error was made, it will definitely be point of interruption.

I would think that to also be true if the throwin was reversed - point of interruption.

And time elapsed from the clock?

Another great question, especially in an end of period, or end of game situation.

With my history of mind reading the NFHS, I'm not betting my 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer on adjusting the clock, or not adjusting the clock.

But as I already said, a great question.

I think this will be treated much like correctable errors, where we can fix the error for a time, but consumed time before its discovery will be a sunk cost.

Plus remembering that any violation--held ball, foul, or granted timeout--before recognition also makes it too late to correct.

7-6-6: Allows the official administering a throw-in to the wrong team to correct the mistake before the first dead ball after the ball becomes live unless there is a change of possession. Rationale: Allows for a correction of an official's mistake in a more reasonable time frame.

Agree. I was also thinking about this.

Held balls, fouls, or granted timeouts, all include dead balls.

Even an inadvertent whistle, or a whistle to pick up a loose coin on the court, or for a player to adjust their glasses.

The "change of possession" in the rule would include things like live ball steals, and no team control shot attempts.

Agree. Sounds rational.

How about original throwin spot, or point of interruption?
