(This also makes me wish the books were large enough to make a note in the margin, or else available in an e-book format that allowed it.)

On the correctable-error question, I never had a professor who would score that type as anything but False...

It already says "unless a FT or TI follows". IT's similar to POI -- if you know what would have happened, do that. Only if you don't know what would have happened do you go to the arrow.

Not trying to just argue, but how do we know what would happen if the ball had not lodged between the backboard and ring?

Another FT. A throwin. Or, a violation causes a throwin.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I guess that is assuming that the ball getting lodged is a violation in the first place. I do wish it said something in 6-4-3 about the throw-in since it is a live ball and all.

You don't, that's why you go to the AP arrow except if occurs during a throw-in (violation) or if we subsquently will be shooting free throws and having a throw-in.

A1 gets fouled while shooting and balls lodges between the rim and the backboard. No AP arrow because A1 still has to shoot free throws.

While A1's shot is in flight A2 fouls B2 and the balls then becomes lodged. No AP arrow because Team B is entitled to either free throws or a throw-in.

Following an intentional or technical foul, the last of A1's free throws gets lodged. No AP arrow b/c Team A is entitled to a throw-in.

And remember, if the throw-in gets tipped by either team and the ball lodges then we go to the AP arrow b/c the throw-in had ended prior to the ball getting lodged.

Right. And all that is too much to put into the exception (and even if they had all that, someone would ask, "but what about ....?"), so they worded it the way they did.

I tried to get my 94 changed to a 100 because I had sent in the rule references to 3 of the "error" questions. I was not successful.
