Correctable Error appeal/Stop play during a live ball?

[JugglingReferee]

Regarding scoring a basket incorrectly as a 2 or incorrectly as a 3, I believe it is fixable until the score is approved at the end of the game. (My books aren't with me at the moment, so I cannot quote a rule or case.)

And further to that, the time frame you mentioned, "second live ball following the error" applies to cases specifically listed, none of which are your situation.

My suggestion is to fix the score as soon as you can, but preferable during a dead ball. If not, then while in backcourt possession of the team whose score will be affected. If it's late late in the game (perhaps < 1:00 or 2:00), fix it right away no matter who has team control.

The timekeeper should not blow the horn, imho.

Totally wrong. See Case Play 2.10.1 Situation K...which is exactly this play. It is a correctable error and must be fixed before the second live ball.

See also Situation L...which is essentially the same play...but explains what happens if the officials did not see if A1 was beyond the 3-point line.

I see a lot of folks wanting to do "equity" by getting it right at any time...but this is a specific play covered by rule.

Depends on what happened.

If the official correctly signals 3 (or correctly does not signal) and the book records 2 (or 3), that's a bookkeeping error that can be corrected anytime (during the game).

If the official incorrectly signals 3 (or incorrectly fails to signal 3) and the book records what the official signalled, then it's a correctable error.

Thank you. Great clarification.

Got it, thanks.

As a scorekeeper if I don't see hands in the air or the two fingers to the waist then I'm writing 2 in my book.If I have a good look at the shot then I'll ask about it at a dead ball.

Common sense tells me the coach should get his timeout when he's normally allowed to request one. No way should he be allowed to stop the opponents' fast break with this.

Lots of words to get there, but it sounds like you got there.
