Referee Mistake - not a correctable error

Funny you should mention that....one of the crew I was with when this actually occurred wanted to do just that....do a 'hindu' (as they used to call it back in the day) and re-do the play as it should have been administered.

Glad to hear that what he stated was of course lunacy and the consequences could be quite harmful to the outcome of the game.

Thanks !

Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and
results in:
a. Failure to award a merited free throw.
b. Awarding an unmerited free throw.
c. Permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw.
d. Attempting a free throw at the wrong basket.
e. Erroneously counting or canceling a score.

Billy, thanks for posting this. I find it interesting that 4 out of 5 items that is covered under 2-10 pertains to free-throws and somehow we still manage not to get it right.

And this is the way to remember CEs, IMO. 4 cases involving free throws and erroneously counting or canceling a score is the fifth. Not a whole lot is correctable.

Rich, this is true. It ruffles my feathers when points are taking off the board when free-throws are merited even if they are administered in the wrong order.
