Correctible/Not Correctible Question

Attending, not officiating, a GV game last night. A1 with ball is fouled (common foul) in the FC (non-shooting). Official scorer neglects to tell the reporting official (R in a 3-person crew in this case) that the foul committed on A1 was Team B's 7th foul of the half (it was, as it turns out). R, not knowing that A1 should be shooting the bonus, indicates the throw-in spot and U1 administers the throw-in. Ball comes in, A2 catches and shoots and is immediately fouled.

At this point, Coach A brings to the attention of the tableside trail official (just happened to be the R again, who had reported the previous foul) that she believes the foul which preceded the throw-in was in fact the 7th foul of the half and A1 should have been shooting 1 + 1. At this time, the other officials are setting up for the two free throws resulting from the foul on A2.
...

Ahh, the classic situation of Coach A purposely waiting to point out the error so they could get 2 opportunities to score.

Yep. I'm not justifying it, but it almost seems as if the R purposefully waited.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he thought some fishy was going on.

Let's not blame the coach for this one. This one is squarely on the table (BOTH scorer's have a book) and the officials. The coach MAY have been trying to get away with something, but it COULD NOT happen without mistakes being made by the others.

I'm not blaming the coach at all. I ALWAYS blame the table AND/OR officials for correctable errors. But there are those who will say its Coach B's fault (defensive coach) for not insisting that Team A should be shooting free throws.
