Correctable Error
 

Freshman game last night, near the end of second quarter my partner calls a foul on blue team, 32 seconds on the clock, white inbounds ball then 15 seconds later the table sounds the horn, we stop play and they inform us that white is in the bonus. We put the 15 seconds back on the clock then shot the freethrows. I am wondering if we should have put the time back on the clock?? I

No, you shouldn't have put time back on the clock. Had white lost possession at any point before you blew it dead?

You do not put time back on.

No, it was the first possesion so I knew we were OK to shoot the freethrows, I was unsure about the time issue. I will have to chalk that up to a learning experience.

I was more concerned with whether you should have shot them with the lane cleared or not.

What would the situation be to shoot them with the lane cleared? Should we have shot the freethrows then went to POI?

Yes. If POI is team control, shoot with the lane cleared and give the ball back to the team in control.

You gave the throw-in to white rather than the FTs. If the visitors had gained control or had a throw-in due (from a violation, foul, or score) before your whistle blew for the CE, then you would clear the lane and resume with POI.

Understood, I appreciate the lesson. It is a situation I will handle with confidence in the future. Thanks Snaqs!

Not exactly correct
 

If team possession had changed then you shoot with lane cleared and then go with POI and give the ball back to team in control. If White was in team control and there had been no change in possession then we line them up. Just as Snaqwell said.

Stayed to watch GV after my freshman game last nite. Close game, about 2 minutes left in 4th Q. 10th foul on V, H lines up and refs all signal 2 shots. 1st shot misses and V grabs the rebound and everyone goes to the other end, about 4-5 passes, the horn blows. They come back down and H shoots her second free throw with the lane filled. Kind of neat to see after reading this thread earlier in the day. Well officiated game- 2 of the 3 refs were state finals guys.

I'm pretty sure the rebound by V counts as a change of possession and they should have gone POI. So award the second free throw, lane cleared.

Oh Correctable Error, how you haunt my dreams :eek:

2.10.1 Situation A
Team B securing the rebound and passing to a teammate constitutes no change in team possession

This is why it's best to not have a CE situation...I don't know how to administer :confused:

FYI, it used to be the exact opposite....and the rationale WAS that it was A's possession during the FT and B's possession once they got the rebound. Not sure why they decided to flip it, but they did.
