On your way back down court tell the table that last shot was a three. Then tell your "slot" at the next opportunity.

mick,
I think you meant to say tell the table it was a "2". However, I disagree with not stopping the game immediately to fix the problem. If the official only goes by the table and tells them in transistion, the benches may not recognize the correction. This could cause a problem with differing scorebooks, etc. Also, they may then ask the official who signaled a "3" what the value of the goal was. If he was not aware that the correction was made, he may again respond that the basket was worth 3 points.
So, in order to nip all the potential confusion in the bud, sound the whistle and fix the problem. BTW, this is not a situation where the partners need to get together to discuss. If the over-ruling official was not at least 100% sure that the wrong value was scored, he should leave the play alone.
