Correctable error

I disagree with the majority in this case. Often times in the double bonus a player will grab the rebound after the first shot and start play. The ball is still dead. You line them up for the second throw in this case. I don't care what the official said, It is a 2 throw situation. I would blow the whistle and line 'em up for the second throw.

Then you'd be wrong.

Rule 2-10-6:
If an error is corrected, play shall be resumed from the point at which it was interrupted 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 shall resume as after any free-throw attempt(s).


What this clearly says is that you always go to the POI except in one case: A1 is due another FT (or FTs) and only A has had possession....in which case you line up for the FTs and continue as if nothing was unusual.

The reason to go with the POI is that B earned a legitimate rebound or steal.

If B had got the rebound then A stole it back, you'd still put A1 on the line with no one on and resume with possession to A.
