correctable error

rainmaker goofed though about the time frame. If this had been one of the five correctable errors (say you had a foul that should have merited shooting 1-and-1, but instead you gave a throw-in), you would still not be able to correct it because you missed the first dead ball after the clock properly started. That dead ball occurred when the foul was committed. You then administered one FT. This makes the ball live for the second time since the "error/mistake." So now it is too late even for a 2-10 error (which in your case this was not). You actually had this whole discussion during the SECOND dead ball following the mistake.

My understanding is that the dead ball of a free-throw doesn't count. I can't find a rule reference right now, but I think I'm right about this.

Help, anyone?
