No One Saw The Ball Go In

[Spence]

Lob pass from 3 point area. Pass is up near the rim. Net moves. Kid for the defense grabs it and then takes it out for a throw-in. That team then goes down and scores a quick bucket.

The team that threw the lob is yelling for 3 points. Clock guy puts up 3. No official gives any signal that the ball went in.

After the the "quick bucket" the coach of the team that was on D when the lob was thrown says "why did no one give a 3 signal?"

Officials get together and determine that none of them saw it go in. They ask the official scorekeeper and she says she thinks it went in. So they keep the 3 up there.


Let's say she said she didn't see it go in. Now you have the 3 officials and the official scorekeeper (and the clock guy) say they didn't see it go in.

Correctable error. Caught it in time, correct?

So you erase the 3 but keep the 2 for the other team and now it's possession to the team that had the 3 incorrectly awarded, correct?
