Correctable error end of quarter

That is NOT correct.

If the foul happens just before the horn and with time on the clock, you have a foul. However, if it is so close that the time expires and the horn sounds anyway, you can only put time back if you KNOW how much time to put back. But, if you don't know how much time there should be, you don't cancel the foul, common or otherwise.

If you are unsure, 0.

So just to clarify for everyone as this thread has become a little convoluted. A foul at the end of any period that happens before the LED/Horn but shows that no time remains on the clock and the LED horn has sounded, AND no official has certain knowledge to how much time should be put back on results in either 1) FTs with the lane cleared for a shooting foul or bonus foul OR 2) a common foul reported to the scorekeeper. In both cases, no time is added and the the period is ended. Is that correct?

*If the foul is before the LED/light/horn - assuming any one of them works - but with 0:00 on the clock the period isn't over. If there are FTs they would be shot with players on the lane.

*If the foul is before the LED/Light/horn THEN one of those things goes off immediately after and none of the officials has definite knowledge how much time was left when the whistle was blown then no, you don't add time. If there are FTs they would be shot with NO players on the lane.

*If the foul is before the LED/Light/horn THEN one of those things goes off immediately after and the officials have definite knowledge how much time was left when the whistle was blown then yes, you add time. If there are FTs they would be shot with players on the lane.

In all of these cases the foul is reported.
