Several minutes later the officials corrected the error, erased the FT by Butler and had Haywood shoot his 2 FTs.

I didn't know that the NBA allowed a correctable error to be fixed so far after the incident. The way that it played out, the situation wouldn't have been correctable in NFHS or NCAA.
I have no idea how the NBA handles correctable errors. Perhaps Chuck will come along tomorrow and post something from the NBA rulebook. I do know that if they kicked it, they will be fined for it. The fine for kicking a rule used to be $1000 a few years back.

What I wish to comment on is the decision NOT to call basket interference, or possibly it would fall under goaltending in the NBA rules, on the play near the end of the game when a player stuck his hand up through the ring from below, but DID NOT touch the ball.

In NFHS and NCAA this would have been an ugly, but completely legal play. I don't know what the NBA rule says (Chuck, please post it!), but they guys on ESPN were discussion it and said that they got clarification from Stu Jackson, whoever that is. They mentioned something about causing the ball to take an unnatural bounce would be illegal. It does seem that the official got this one correct though.
