Most Embarrassing Thing An Official Could Ever Do ...

I know why I got this wrong. Over forty-plus years I've been told by interpreters/trainers that officials should get together to discuss things after all technical fouls, including, but not limited to, discussing where the free throws will be shot, because the "most embarrassing thing an official could ever do would be to shoot technical foul free throws at the wrong basket".

So I always figured that the points would go to other team (if not corrected in time). Now that would be really embarrassing. But they don't count for the other team (2.10.4 Situation B), so while it's still embarrassing, it would be much more embarrassing if the points went to other team.
