Messy situation

So are these unmerited FTs or not? Can they be canceled?

MRegor is right; once the FTs are shot, the T cannot be rescinded.

Agree....almost. Technically, once the T is reported, it is too late. There is no mechanism for un-calling a foul that has been reported and recorded.

That said, I wouldn't criticize someone who did cancel the T in this case.

So the line of thinking here is since the T was reported, it cannot be corrected as it is not a correctable error. The free throws then are merited as the penalty for the T and therefore cannot be canceled?

If so, it makes sense to me.

I can't think of a better time to trot out 2-3.
