We had a situation in a match last night where a player potted the yellow, and the cue ball went acroiss the table and cannoned into and potted the green as well. The referee called a foul, rightly so, and put the yellow and green back on their spots, but then he picked up the white by mistake.
What happens in this situation? Is it:
a) The referee should place the white back in the same position it was in before he picked it up (or as near as he can by memory)
or
b) The player who's visit it now is gets the white in hand and can place it anywhere in the D?
My guess is this would be treated in the same way as when you ask the ref to clean the cue ball, i.e. the ball should be replaced (option a).
