Correctable Error At The End Of Game?

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.
