This happened in a Jr. High game a couple weeks ago. A1 is dribbling in the front court and is fouled by B1. I glance at the scoreboard and see that B has 6 fouls so I'm expecting to shoot a 1-1. After reporting the foul, I wait for the scorer to indicate a 1-1 situation. She never does. I then go to the table and ask if we are in the 1-1 and the reply is "no". So I simply assumed she had changed the scoreboard before I looked up at it. Coach of A sends in a sub for the player who was fouled. A1 inbounds the ball and we play for a few seconds and there is a travel on A2. Now the scorer is repeatedly buzzing the horn and motions me over to the table and says that we were indeed in the one-and-one for the previous foul. I step back and think about it and realize we are still within the timeframe for correcting the error. However, the player who was fouled is now on the bench. Do I bring him back in to shoot the free throws or do I make his sub shoot them. Keep in mind this was Jr. High and in the interests of expediency I simply brought the kid off the bench to shoot the 1-1 and then sent him back to the bench afterwards. What would be the appropriate thing if this were a varsity game or a playoff game, or any game of more importance.
