Agree. So let's say that the officials are also "fooled" and don't figure it out until several minutes, and several baskets, by both teams, into the game?

I know what I would do using common sense and fairness, but what would we do by the book?

If discovered within seconds (warmup the correct way, are instructed by the officials to go the correct way, and line up for the jump ball the correct way, no backcourt) with only one basket scored, I'm counting the basket for the team whose basket the ball entered.

But several minutes, and several baskets, by both teams?
