This item in the casebook fascinates me. It goes against just about everything else in the both books, in terms of cancelling things and putting time back on the clock. Does anyone know why this one particular situattion is supposed to be treated this way? And how many refs know this exception well enough to get it right?
If they didn't cancel the field goal, but did everything else, and then B got the ball, and then the table or one ref realized it was wrong, would that be a correctible error?

If we didn't have this interpretation, we could not prevent a mad race for the ball after a every made basket. First team to the ball gets it!

I understand why it's against the rules to pull this stunt. I just don't understand why we do all the rigamarole with the clock, and the fouls and so on. Why isn't the T enough? If the infraction happens when A steps out of bounds with the ball, or even when the ball is touched inbounds, then it would be dead and there wouldn't be a basket to cancel, and most of the fouls would be moot, since they would be during a dead ball.
