Zoochy already pointed out that if you would not have a count, the ball is not at the team's disposal after a made basket. So you are still in the time frame to correct the error. Since the error is corrected, play is resumed from POI, which is the throw-in that follows A's basket. (Don't confused 2-10-6's use of "team possession", it is not the same thing as team control).

Help me understand when does the team possession change after a basket? Rule reference, please.

Case play: 2.10.1D

similar to the POI rule: 4-36-2b

Thanks, Snaq. I think I read too much into the 'possession' phrasing. Certainly wouldn't want to line them up and have A score again off a missed FT.

It's available when you think it's available. Judgment call.

And possession isn't a factor either. You can correct the error no later than the first dead ball after the clock started. The allowable correction period ended after A2 scored his basket and the ball became live in the ensuing throw-in.

See case book play 2.10.1SitH.
