Corrected correctly

[Hawks Coach]

We had a textbook example of correctable error yesterday. We fouled our opponents on the floor, table is slow to note that it is 1 and 1 and officials probably didn't ask for a foul count (don't honestly remember). Opponents inbound, we steal the ball, take a shot at our end that is blocked OOB, ball going to us on the baseline. All of a sudden trail is signaling everyone down to the opposite end of the court for our oppomnents to shoot FTs.

As they prepared to line up all the players, I asked them to come over and discuss it. I asked them to clear the lane and give us ball after the FTs. The first ref said "no, it's a correctable error situation." I said that I know it is correctable error, but there was a change of possession after the error, so we shoot with the lane clear and go to point of interruption after the FTs. R1 just had a blank look after I said this, but R2 called him over to discuss, and then R1 says "clear the lane and it will be Black ball on the far end after the FTs."

And while they were shooting the FTs, we set up our inbounds and got an easy bucket. Score two for reading those correctable error posts on the board.

The day a coach gets it right when 50% of refs would get it wrong, is a red-letter day, indeed!! You definitely get a star in your crown for this one!
