I recall a famous correctable error in the Michigan State/North Carolina men's Final Four. It happened in the first half with 8:23 to go. MSU shot, and, as the ball was in flight, NC player Scott shoved MSU's Bograkos away from the rebound. The Lead called the foul, counted the basket and reported, and the players lined up for a 1-and-1. But it was Torbert who went to the line to shoot. He hit his first shot; and then the R, Reggie Greenwood, went to the monitor, saw who the shooter should have been, and made the correction.

Of course, the best piece of advice regarding correctable errors is: "Never have one." But the reality is that they do happen, even in a March Madness game! The best thing you can do for yourself is to be well acquainted with the ins and outs of the Correctable Error rules, so that when you see one, you'll be able to cope with it, just as Reggie Greenwood did.
