Correctable Error Question

If the officials had said 2 and it was really a 1-1 then one team could be put at a disadvantage (case 8.6.1). Therefore, shoot the second and play-on.

Now if B had gotten the ball in the basket, now that is a whole different story, which is what I was referring to from one of the other posts.

The error was made/finished when the officials allowed the team to rebound the ball. True, no team was placed at a disadvantage, but not because the 2nd shot had not been attempted yet. No team was disadvantaged because both teams got the same information and acted upon it. Team B won the rebound.

I agree with Snaqwells that logically team B is disadvantaged in that they lose the rebound and I also agree that logically this is a change of possession. However, the ruling on this is that this is not a change of possession. It says so in the case play. So in the majority minds of the rules committee this is not a change in possession and we should call it like the case play says. Unless that is someone knows for certain that this is not the intent of the rules committee. I'd have to seen something in writing to believe because they make it extremely clear in the case play. Can't be more clear than that.
