Also, when only one team goes for the rebound or neither an official must whistle for the ball to become dead. That's also in the case book ruling.

Your second statement about the correctable error is wrong because this situation would only become such if a 2nd FT attempt were to be administered following the 1st attempt being unsuccessful. That wasn't part of the scenario, so there's no CE. This is merely a mistake by the officials.

In the OP only one team went for the rebound. So you would count the bucket if the team scored before the whistle was blown? It's semantics, because I sure as hell won't count the score.

My second statement was in regards to IF a second FT was given.
