NOT a Correctable Error, BUT should it be???

I understand where you are going but most would go as far to say that the currently CE procedures are not "fair" anyways. If an official makes a mistake, they make a mistake. Move on and the game continues. I remember someone on this board saying, "Well coach, the good news is that you get two out of the next three alternating possession arrows ". I don't see this error very often, to be honest. There is no need to make the CE ruling any more complicated.

The CE rules are complicated?

They aren't complicated for me but obviously coaches find them complicated because they have a mini stroke whenever I've seen them applied (Knock on wood I've only had one in the games I've ever done). The grip is always, "that's not fair"

"Coach, the rules define fairness."
