The official certainly misapplied the rule so can it not be corrected even if caught within the time limit?

Excellent example.

What? Isn't this an example of "erroneously counting or canceling a score" that can be corrected within the correctable error time limits? Color me confused.

[Nevadaref]

Yes, Billy, both of us are saying that it is a CE for the reason that you state and may be corrected.

Please carefully reread the wording "can it not be corrected [?]."

Both of us are arguing against the new interp ruling.

Why are there so few of us arguing such? There should be a line of us all the way around the block.

I am in that line with all of you. I am quiet. I would just be repeating everything that has been stated.
Maybe I should speak up because I do work for the Department of Redundancy Department.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I did a lot of poking and prodding and got a friend of a friend to get in touch with somebody on the Rules Committee, regarding the correctable error interp. Here is the response that was given:

The Rules Committee does not believe an official not knowing or not properly applying a rule is the intent of the Rule 2.10. Generally speaking, the five correctable errors in Rule 2.10 involve correct rulings by officials in ruling the foul or an infraction such as basket interference. However an error occurs in the administration of the free throw(s) that result from the foul or the infraction (basket interference) is not scored correctly. Based on historical NFHS interpretations, a correctable error is NOT applicable when officials don't know the rule of fail to apply a rule properly.

Thanks for the extra effort, Mr. Esteemed Colleague.

Of course, you know as well as I do that the response is about the most ludicrous thing that we've seen come out of the NFHS committee in the last 10 years.

An official not knowing or not properly applying a rule is EXACTLY why rule 2-10 exists. Otherwise there wouldn't be any correctable errors!

Of course, looking at some of the other interps, I'm not surprised.

Thanks Scrapper1. Why sorry? We've all been waiting with bated breath for this explanation. I've lost a lot of sleep over it. Much thanks for the followup.

In my humble opinion, this NFHS interpretation of a NFHS interpretation is the male version of a cowpie.
