NCAA Correctable Error Scenario

Good point. But, do we really think someone is going to be, or even be aware that they could be, that devious?

Knowing you're getting FTs you don't deserve and letting it happen is one thing, but what you propose takes several stars to line up.

My thing is, if we don't know, and the table doesn't know, why are we saying the coach SHOULD know? I've never bought that argument for why CE's are administered like they are.

If you can think of a better way, feel free to suggest it.

On a couple of situations I've already suggested better alternatives in long ago threads.

But my main point is that the oft-cited argument about the coach "letting it happen" is riduculous, IMO.

I believe that you should reset the clock to the point of the foul, take the points off the board, and give Team A the ball out of bounds off of the foul call. That way, everything is handled the way it should have been.

That is how this correctable error would be handled under NBA rules if discovered within 24 seconds.

52. Player A1 is fouled and the officials are notified that Team B has committed five team fouls in the period. Player A1’s first free throw attempt is successful and the second free throw attempt is unsuccessful. However, Player A3 scores a field goal on the rebound of the second free throw attempt. After 24 seconds have elapsed, the officials are notified that the team foul information given was incorrect and no free throw attempts should have been awarded. How is this play administered?

The point scored on the successful free throw attempt is deleted and the points scored on the successful field goal by Player A3 remain. If the error was discovered within 24 seconds, all play in the entire sequence would be deleted, except unsportsmanlike acts and all flagrant fouls and points scored there-from.

RULE 2 - SECTION VI - A (3)

So, you're going to wipe out that fantastic steal on the throwin and breakaway score plus a foul for team B so you can put A3 on the line for 1+1...that really seems fair to me.

Obviously, there is no perfect way to fix this. But, since all of that never should have happened, I would take it away.
