Is that 1and1 or Correctable Error--Goof...

However you got lucky in the sense that if the error had been noticed before team B scored, then you would have had take the ball away from B and go back and shot the second free throw and then play on.(just think of what could have happened if team A missed the second shot and then got an offensive rebound)

If the error was discovered when B had the ball before they scored (for instance, the timer buzzes as B1 is dribbling the ball across half-court) you would stop the game, shoot the final free throw with no players along the lane, and then award the ball back to Team B via a spot throw-in.

If, however, as you mentioned, Team A got the offensive rebound and the error was noticed, you would shoot the final free throw WITH players along the lane and would continue from that point. Why? There was no cahnge of possession.

That is an important point to understand. The initial possession is by Team A on the free throw. A rebound by Team A means no change of possession, but a rebound by Team B is a change of possession.

Furthermore, the change of possession indicates the act taking place, I believe, not which team has the ball. For instance, if Team B had gotten the rebound and then lost the ball out of bounds, and the error discovered at that moment, you would shoot the final free throw with NO players along the lane and the award the ball back to Team A via a spot throw-in. Why? Because there was a change of possession - from Team A to Team B. There was another one after that (when Team B lost the ball out of bounds). You can't wipe off that violation by Team B because of the correctable error, so you have to give the ball back to Team A.

So, does anyone know the maximum amount of time that can pass before you can no longer correct an error (as defined in 2.10)??
