Could this, in your opinion, be considered a correctable error?

Only if they had called BI at the time the play occurred. They can't fail to call BI and then go back and call it later.

There is a case play which says that the officials can correct the error if they erroneously count or cancel points on a BI call, but that assumes that the call was actually made.

Seems like a good way to start a riot even if they were correct in taking away the awarded points!

They also can't uncall BI once the ball is put back in play.

What they can correct is the points that should have been credited/not-credit as a result of the BI as called.

Examples...

• they call offensive BI but count the points...that is correctable.
• they call defensive BI but cancel the points...that is correctable.

They can't call defensive BI, count the points, then, after the ball is in play, decide it was offensive BI instead of defensive BI and cancel the points (or decide it was not BI at all and cancel the points).
