Yes. Also, while blue is dribbling up the court, you may stop play if the scorekeeper tells you to shoot the bonus. As long as recognition occurs before the second dead ball.

Sorry Mick, but you are not being precise. It is too late to correct the error at that time.

The error must be recognized before the second LIVE ball in order to fix it. The book says "during the first dead ball after the clock has properly started." Once that dead ball becomes live again, (In this particular case, when the ball is at Blue's disposal for the throw-in after Red's goal) it is too late.

WyMike, It sounds to me like you now understand the process correctly.

Thanks, Nevada.
Yes it would appear I confused the phrases

During 1st dead ball

Before 2nd dead ball

Before 2nd live ball.
I'll do better next time.
Thanks again.
