What occurs when an error in awarding a merited free throw is corrected without a change of team possession?

When an error in awarding a merited free throw is corrected without a change of team possession, the game will resume normally after the free throw is taken. This situation acknowledges that the team entitled to the free throw was not given the opportunity to score due to a prior mistake. Therefore, once the error has been identified and corrected, the team will take the free throw they are owed, and following that, play continues as if the free throw was never interrupted. This ensures that the flow of the game is maintained while still addressing the mistake made in officiating. Resuming play in this manner respects the right of the team to the free throw opportunity while allowing the game to progress without unnecessary interruptions.
