Decide to take V's points away and award them to H, since the basket scored went into H's hoop.
I almost swallowed my whistle.

Snaqwells,
Oh, well.
Yes, it is the officials' responsibility.
No, we do not expect a freshmen coach to know the rule.
But, for the grace of God....
By almost swallowing your whistle, you demonstrated how much smarter you are than those other officials.
