Read case play 2.10.1 Situation D. Team A got their merited free throw and team B rebounded the miss. Give Team B the ball and continue on. Team A isn't going to be very happy, however, if they made no attempt to rebound the miss due to the official's incorrect info.

Was this error due to the scorer giving the official bad info from the table? If so, flog the scorer.

If this was due to the official's lack of attention, flog all the officials. The lead official should never release the ball to the shooter until he/she has received a confirmation signal from his/her partner(s) indicating how many free throws will be shot. This error won't happen if even one of the partners is paying attention.
