So as an official what do we do if the horn goes off during a live ball. Do we ignore the horn and expect the players to keep playing? Do we blow the whistle because the horn went off (which is what we did, but it was after the shot)?

I appreciate the help on this. We talked it over as a group and one of my partners said to count the basket. I guess I should of listened to him.

Depending on what's happening, sometimes you can keep going, but often it is such a disruption that you blow things dead and start over. Luckily, in your situation it was after the shot, which sounds like it was a good time to reset. Certainly no reason not to count it.

Isn't the table supposed to horn immediately in the case of a correctable error situation where the correctable window might pass before a stoppage in play?

The OP wasn't a correctable error situation.

Depends on what the players do. If it is a little horn and the players keep playing then you can ignore it. If any players react and/or stop playing then I'm blowing it dead, finding out if the table needs me, and putting the ball back in play at the POI.

Right, but the table thought it was. I don't see playing through the horn if the table is leaning on it.

If the ball is live and the CE window hasn't already passed, you have until the next dead ball to correct it.

Right, but I doubt most tables are going to have the presence of mind to recognize whether the correctable error window has passed or not and hold the horn until the next dead ball. How many tables do you think know the CE rules?

If there is any confusion whatsoever on the part of the players either on offense or defense, I hit the whistle for sure. I think it would be totally unfair if a ball handler travel, or for a defender to stop playing and have the man he's guarding blow by him due to confusion. it's a lot easier to do of course when a shot hasn't been put up...
