Yes. Yes.
A twist on above. Last night at JV girls, I am a spectator and observed this with about three minutes left in 2nd quarter. A1 scores on a try.
SCOREBOARD: A 17, B 21.
B1 inbounds to B2 in A's free throw lane. B2 is confused and makes field goal in A's basket.
SB: A 19, B 21.
To prove that brain farts are contagious, A1 takes the ball on the end line and passes in to A2 who proceeds up the court and scores in B's goal.
SB: A 19, B23.
B3 takes the ball on the end line and passes into B2 who promptly scores a goal in B's basket.
SB A 19, B 25.

At this point official grants time out to Coach A who has had enough fun. Officials huddle with scorer and timer, leave all scores on the board and game continues with Team A throw in and both teams going the right direction.

First question: No question that the first wrong way bucket by B2 stays on the board but was the throw in by A1 a violation? I believe it was, but couldn't find an exact reference. Violation or not, when was the last point the officials could have whistled (something) and set things right?

2nd: While 4.5.4 applies in the case that started this thread, it doesn't seem to apply througout the followup I have provided and the scoreboard results should stand?
