Fun with Correctable Errors

[BoomerSooner]

This was a great game with an exciting but unfortunate ending (wanted to post earlier, but couldn't as we were requested not to comment or discuss this game until the commitee came out with a formal explanation to both schools).

Boys HS Varsity, midway 4th quarter B (home) is ahead by 2 and fouls A1 for the 7th team foul. Scoreboard only shows 6 fouls and the official scorekeeper does not alert us that A should be shooting the bonus. We give the ball to A for a throw-in, ball inbounded and A2 promptly hits a 3pt shot.

Immediatly B jumps off the bench screaming for a TO and I grant it. While reporting I can tell something is going on because he is already screaming at the official scorer (a fellow teacher). I calm him down at which point he tells me it should have been the bonus and he wants the bucket cancelled and A should shoot the bonus.

Well unfortunatly for B, this is still a correctable error as the ball hasn't been made live yet for a second time. We give A1 his bonus shots, he makes both, 5pt play, and we give the ball to B under the basket with the baseline. B's coach is livid, team unravels, fall way behind only to catch up in the closing seconds but finally lose by 3 pts. Rough way to lose.

Pretty sure this is how it should have gone...of course if someone thinks otherwise, please let me know.
