Surprise FT Shooter: Washington-Arizona

Anyone see this game last night?

Washington big man receives a long pass on break. Catches it in the paint and goes up for a try. Gets fouled by Arizona. Try is no good.

The fouled player either lost a contact or had something happen to his eye/face. We see him over at his team area being attended to.

But then we see free throws being administered. And a Washington guard is taking the FT. (?!) He misses the first one.

Now the officials realize something might be amiss.

They go to the table and talk. Then they get the coaches in for a conference.

The TV announcers said that there were only 4 Washington players on the floor when the FT was attempted. Also, that the guard (who had been in the game when the foul happened, I believe) had a much better FT shooting percentage than the big man.

Conference ends. Coaches seem ok with whatever was decided.

And they put the big man back on the line for two shots. He makes them both.

I'm a first year official so I don't know, but did they get this right? Wrong shooter is correctible, right? My guess is even if the guard had made the first free throw and they realized the mistake, they'd have taken the point off the board. What if he'd made both? Would it have become unfixable at the first whistle after Arizona's subsequent possession?
