Strangest call of the tournament

JR, I think I figured out the problem. You and maybe some others are looking at the rule book 6-7-5. Mark Dexter and I are asking you to look at the Case book 6-7-5.

Bart,both the rulebook and the casebook are saying the exact same thing.That's Casebook 6-7-5A.The inadvertant whistle makes the ball dead immediately.The initial FT also ends with the inadvertant whistle.You cannot score a FT with a dead ball.These are all rules that I quoted,and are plainly written.You can't ignore them by using a delayed violation signal.The FT is unsuccessful because the whistle went early for the violation.The replacement FT is for the wrongly whistled violation.I have not to date seen anything quoted out of the rule or case book that will allow for anything different.If someone can find something,I'll certainly be glad to consider it.I've been wrong before,but I don't think I am in this case.
