Free Throw At Wrong Basket

Nuts.

Oh, and thanks.

Trying to sort through ...
Assuming the error is correctable (recognized before as you describe here) then is the consensus that:

1) Score the goal for A2 (officials permitted players to go in wrong direction, so this is not a "wrong goal" shot).
2) A1 shoots replacement free throw at the correct basket with lanes cleared
3) Resume at POI which is an end line throw-in for B following the scored goal by A2.

Assuming the error is not correctable (as in original post):
1) Score the goal for A2 (officials permitted players to go in wrong direction, so this is not a "wrong goal" shot).
2) Resume play going in the correct direction with end line throw-in for B following the scored goal by A2.

I don't think you can have both of those.

Either:

(a) the officials allowed everyone to go the wrong way -- the FT is missed, A2's basket counts for A, line everyone up and go the right way with a throw in for B, or

(b) the FT was at the wrong end -- A re-shoots at the right end, A2's basket counts for B, A gets a throw-in.

I agree, the two options are at variance and cannot be "co applied" , so please select either a or b?

Interesting thought. What one do you go with?

Of all the CEs, this is the dumbest, IMO, as it doesn't really affect anything. This scenario is a hole in the rules, IMO, so I'm nto sure how I'd rule. I'd just hope I could look back and see one team or the other with the ball ready for a throw in after that FT before we killed the play.

I agree with you there. Not sure why you need a CE for a free throw at the wrong basket.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Just allow whatever happened before the error was found and continue at the correct basket. Why re-do the attempts? I guess it's in case one side is more advantageous to shoot at (fans and other distractions at one end?), therefore making them shoot at one or the other evens things out. But is it just that, in which case it seems silly?
