Tricky Error

[billyc8037]

Ok... here's the situation: Team B commits a foul. Trail reports the foul to the table and scorer announces 7th team foul it's now 1 & 1. A1 reports to the free throw line. Trail announces "1 & 1". Lead administering the ball announces "2 Shots". Trail does NOT hear Lead announce "2 Shots". Neither does the table. A1 takes his free throw, the ball hits the rim but misses. No player in the lanes move their position as they are waiting for the second attempt to be administered. A1 moves off the foul line and gets his own rebound, shoots and scores two points. No one in the lane has yet to move and the Lead realizing his mistake blows the whistle to stop the clock and announces his mistake. Both officials confer, let the points remain despite the obvious objections from team B and gives the ball to team B. Was this correct? Should the officials have waved off the goal and let the 1 & 1 re-try?. Should they have discounted the goal and just given the ball to team B due to the missed attempt and called it an inadvertent whistle? Go to the possession arrow? I couldn't find a correctable error ruling that seemed to fit.

Officials Provide Erroneous Information - Case Book 8.6.1 Play should be whistled dead and go to the alternate posession arrow.

Do you leave the goal scored?

ready up the case book play grune provided -- but you do not score the basket. "play should be whistled dead." that means the play -- being the scoring of the basket should be DEAD. much like bellbottoms and collared striped shirts. or to really kill generously apply the Old School Stare of Imminent Death (tm) with a sprinkle of chuck norris.

Technical foul on A1 for not giving a dead ball directly to the official. No 2nd free throw for A1. B gets two shots (maybe four, that depends) and the ball.

Seriously, the official announced two shots, therefore this ball was not live when the shooter caught it. Since the ball was not live, this basket does not count, and go to the arrow.

I had this exact situation happen to me my third season. I was the lead, my partner (a 20 year veteran) didn't have a clue what to do. Luckily, me being the know it all kid, knew exactly what to do. I got it right! I won't lie thought, it was mostly luck that day.

Seriously, I do not agree with that. (I'm assuming that by "the shooter" you mean the player who rebounded the missed FT and subsequently made a try for goal.)

The ball was live during the FT and remains live after it because no FT is to follow, despite what the official stated, unless an official sounds the whistle. Only a whistle sounding would make this ball dead.

Notice that the casebook play says that the whistle should be sounded immediately. The problem is what if it isn't?
