Your personal philosophy doesn't matter either. We have different opinion of what the rule as written is intended to say. You apparently are certain that you are right. We see it differently. Why the condescending attitude?

Is there another example of a situation where the basket counts because the official failed to blow the whistle quickly enough?

Okay, I'll modify my post to say, "The FED rules and case plays clearly indicate that the official can correct the misinformation and anyone suggesting otherwise is inserting his or her own opinion into the game."

Better?
