4-5-4 If by mistake the officials permit a team to go the wrong direction, when discovered all points scored....shall count as if each team had gone the proper direction. Play shall resume with each team going the proper direction...
The officials "permitted" team B to go the wrong way on the first basket by facing them the wrong way on the jump. The mistake was "discovered" when team A player scored in the correct basket. Officials should have then stopped play and straightened everyone out and play should have resumed with team B inbounding the ball and going the right way and
2 points on the board for each team.
