The error occurred with the clock stopped (on a free throw), so the error in this case needed to be corrected during the dead ball following the score off the rebound. That's the very brief time between the ball going through the basket and the new 5 second throwin count starting.

I appreciate the information. I agree with everything you both wrote and do not dispute it. Thanks.

The only place I am getting confused is from the 2008-09 NCAA Rulebook Pg 49 Rule 2 Section 12 Art 3.

Art. 3. When the officials’ error as in Rule 2-12.1 is made while the game
clock is running and the ball is dead, it must be recognized and corrected by
an official before the second live ball to be correctable.

So let's go back to my original scenario: B1 is given an foul and the scorekeeper tells the official it is 1 and 1. A1 misses the first shot of the 1 and 1, B2 gets the rebound (clock now running) and proceeds to B's front court. The scorekeeper now realizes Team B has 10 team fouls and his error in not originally awarding the double-bonus for A1. Team B scores on a 2pt shot (dead ball #1). A1 receives the inbound pass A1 then calls a timeout (dead ball #2) when the scorekeeper advises the officials of the correctable error.

Since the error was discovered when the clock was running and was caught before the 2nd live ball, wouldn't this error still be correctable?

Thanks for your input.

The phrase "second live ball" refers to second from the correctable error, not second from the time of discovery. So, no.

Thanks for your clarification.

"when the clock is running and the ball is dead" refers specifically to a three point shot that is erroneously counted as two or a two point shot that is counted as three. These are the only correctable errors that can happen while the clock is running.

No, that's not true. 2-10-3 does apply to 2-10-1e. But that is not the only CE that can happen while the clock is running.

If two shots are merited, only one is given and is missed, and the clock then starts, a CE has occurred while the clock is running. That's why it has to be recognized at the first dead ball.

I guess I consider all FT errors to occur while the clock is stopped. I can see how one could consider this error to be be a split second later when the clock started. It doesn't matter, though, the point of no return is the same regardless; I think.

I'll be in Philly for the weekend action.
