Correctable error?

[slow whistle]

Don't know what it is with scorer/timer issues the last week for me...last night BV game, my partner calls a foul on a rebound and the kid responds to him with a "you suck" so BANG ZOOM..goes to the table to report the personal and the tech which results in the kid fouling out. We get the replacement in and are trying to hash out the number of team fouls. Partner spends a good 30 seconds with the official scorer determining the number of team fouls and the scorer (who had his head up his arse the whole game) confirms/double confirms that the tech is #7. So we have no shots for the first foul and go to shoot the tech. Kid makes one and misses one and as we are about to inbound the ball the inbounder is asking me why we didn't shoot for the first foul and I say b/c that was only 6 and the tech was 7 and he goes "no it wasn't" and points to the board and sure enough now there are 8 team fouls. So we walk to the table again and WHOOPS the official scorer who confirmed and double confirmed that the tech was 7 was wrong, it was actually 8 and the scoreboard operator thought he could just go ahead and sneak that extra foul up on the board....so the three of us get together and determine that we have a correctbale error for failure to award the bonus free throws on the first foul. So we wipe the point off the board, shoot the 1 and 1 and then re-shoot the tech. Afterwards I started thinking about it and couldn't get it out of my head that I have seen this scenario discussed on this board and that the consensus was that this situation is not a failure to award since you did give them the tech free throws, that the correct thing to do would have been to not take the point off, but just to go ahead and award the 1 & 1 and give them the ball at the division line even though we would have been shooting out of order....somebody help me here did we kick this one?
