Correctable Error?

Is there anyone here who would actually allow this bucket to count?

What bucket? The ball was dead.

If a team is doing it intentionally to gain an advantage not intended by the rules, call an unsporting technical on the offender. If a team in-bounded the ball out of confusion or ignorance and we fail to catch it prior to the throw-in ending, that is our failure IMO and not correctable.

Still, a quick throw-in and we might not be able to catch it in time. If I'm the new Lead and while looking back I see what happened I'm killing the play, confusion or not, throw-in completed or not.

It may be my failure, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't necessarily fix it.

Handing the ball to the wrong team out of a timeout/intermission is the fault of the official as well but the case book says we cannot correct it after the throw-in ends.

Yup, indeed it says that. I know it says that. Your point is...?

Agreed, and I've got a Delay of Game to go along with it.
