Correctable Error question

[artmoe]

Player A is shooting 2 freethrows. After the second made freethrow and before the opponent is about to put the ball in play on the end line, the table hits the horn and notifies the officials that the player that just shot the free throws has 5 fouls. Is this a correctable error? How do you correct this situation?

Not a correctable error. The player with 5 fouls is disqualified when this is discovered. What he does in the meantime stands.

What about 2.10.1.b Awarding an unmerited free throw
or 2.10.1.c Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw.
We had this scenario come up in our meeting last monday night.

A player is not disqualified until the proper procedure is completed (I call it CCP for short - coach clock player) so 2.10.1b&c do not apply.

Those in your group need to be made aware of this past NFHS play ruling:

2000-01 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations

SUPPLEMENT #1 (11/9/00)

SITUATION 6: A1 is fouled and Team A is in the bonus. Before A1 attempts the one-and-one, A1 is whistled for a technical foul for taunting. A1 goes to the free-throw line to attempt the one-and-one with no players lined up. A1 makes the first free throw, then the horn sounds and the scorer indicates that A1’s technical foul was the fifth foul on A1. RULING: The result of A1’s first free throw shall stand and A1’s replacement shall attempt the remaining free throw (if the first was successful), before Team B shoots its technical foul free throws. COMMENT: This is not a correctable error for a wrong player attempting a free throw. A1 was not officially disqualified until the coach was notified. (3-3-3; 4-14-2; 2-8-3; 2-10-1c)

It figures that you would find an interpretation almost ten years old. How do even know where to start looking?

Because I'm an excellent driver and I buy my underwear at K-mart.
