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.
