Tricky Error

[tjones1]

Seems like this situation has been coming up a lot around here lately. It's good to pre-game this and that you confirm how many shots are being shot. Slow down, no need to rush into an error.

Only because it happened in the 4A boys State Championship game in Idaho!

It also happened in the 2007 Conference USA tournament in Memphis. Quarter final game. Tulane vs Tulsa.
6 of us from St Louis were at the game. Since I am a basketball referee, I had to explain the ruling to my friends and the people surrounding me. We were sitting about 6 rows behind the official scorer. The officials were not happy with the scorekeeper. They got it right. I believe this happened with 13 seconds left in the game.

If it was the same situation being discussed in this thread, why were the officials not happy with the scorekeeper?

Scorers table told official that team A has commited 10 fouls. Double bonus. B1 shoots and misses the 1st free throw. Only A1 attempts and secures the rebound. Table blows the horn. Referees approach the table. Scorer informs them that it is only the 9th foul. Thus a 1 and 1. What do you do? Go with the AP. Arrow points to Team B.
Now do you see why the officials were not too happy with the scorekeeper?

Why? The rules say that you should. Case book play 8.6.1 is the exact same play.
