Correctable Error At The End Of Game?

[Adam]

The title of this thread is in my top five fears for a game. It's all too possible for the table to screw this up.
Me: "Is that ten?"
Table: "nope, nine."
After the horn, "Wait, that WAS ten."

I guess thats why they have a visiting rep at the table to concur that info, that plus keeping track of it yourself should be suffice.

Which leads me to believe that you guys are pretty sharp when it comes to mentally keeping track of team fouls.

If not, just ask the coaches, they always know ;-)

Well maybe the varsity officials around here...certainly not me. I get an general inkling but I don't have a counter going in my head yet.

It can always get worse. Years ago, I went to call jr. high games at a new charter school, that was just starting out. The games were played in a church gym. When I arrived, the guy who was to keep the clock asked a few questions.

"When do we shoot free throws?"

"One and one on the 7th. Two on the 10th."

"Will you tell us or do we need to keep up with it?"



Wait, there's more.

Partner had wrong directions to the site, and was late arriving. Principal told me what happened. "He's on his way, but we want to go ahead and get started. He's going to help you until the other guy gets here." He was pointing at the clock keeper.

I'm not as worried in high school games, but there are some where there's no v book. Besides, I'm working some Gold Crown this year, and that's where I could see it happening.

It is indeed moot. But this whole thread has been operating under a misunderstanding of the correctable error rule in regards to the point of interruption.

After fixing a correctable error, play is resumed at the point of interruption UNLESS the error is failing to award a merited free throw and there's been no change of possession.

So how we would resume the game (if there were time left to resume the game) would depend on who gained possession of the rebound after the missed first free throw.

In the original poster's situation, the free throw is attempted with no on the lane because there is no time on the clock.

But if this same thing happened with 4 minutes left in the game, we would have to know who had possession before the error was discovered. If the shooting team got the rebound and then we discovered the error, we'd simply line up to shoot the merited free throw and then play off the make or miss.

If Team B secured the rebound (or had stolen the ball from Team A before the error was discovered), THEN we'd shoot the merited free throw with the lane cleared and resume at the POI.

Once we hit 6 I'm tracking the rest in my head until we hit 10.

Where?

Only worked with him once, a couple years ago. I don't recall him being territorial.

ABA game down here, not territorial, just ol' skool. And since he's the crew chief on this one, I will not double down when he is L.

I really don't get folks getting territorial over PCAs. As long as we're not missing stuff in our primaries, let's get the call right.

IDK some people just like to hear their own whistle on thier play. Which is cool with me, I just prefer doubles in the paint & as long as the right official takes it to the table... who cares.

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

The key thing to remember from the Casebook Play is that the second free throw is part of the fourth quarter so by rule the game is not over because the penalty for the foul has not been completed and no penalty can carry over to a new period.
