Correctable Error

Unfortunately that is how the correctable error rule works but on the other hand it was his home scorer that miscounted the team fouls.

If I am not mistaken in FIBA rules had this been the situation and A was able to score a basket before the mistake was corrected, then the Free Throws are ignored and the basket is counted. No opportunity to get the extra points on an error.

I'm just thinking out loud here so don't be upset I am refering to FIBA....

You did well. You can't kill the clock because the coach tells you it should have been bonus throw(s). And you shouldn't kill the clock even if you look up and see a 7 by teams fouls. Scoreboards can be wrong. Correct procedure is to allow the play to continue - then whistle just as you did. Same coach would probrably complained if the situation had been reversed and you stopped his fast break attempt. Good job!

Finally! A FIBA rule that I like better than the NFHS version.

I knew there had to be one in there somewhere.
