During our officials conference, I look at the younger official and ask point blank, did you make a mistake and call a two shot foul when it should have been a 1 and 1. He admits yes. I express that this was not a correctible error, just a mistake. We need to admit the error and move on.

Referee gives second shot, adds time back on the clock and then gives ball back to losing team.

Needless to say, it was an interesting conversation after the game in the officials locker room.

Definitely not the answer I expected that's for sure.

Even if it was a correctable error, and it wasn't. No time would be put back on the clock. What a goat rope.
