Had a brain fart a couple weeks ago and lost my focus for a split second and it bit me.

I was trail, ball came flying from below free throw line towards mid court. Player A1 (offense) tips the ball before it goes to back court. Enter brain fart. Where did the ball come from? Was it a throw in, or from on the court? Over and back if from team A on court, or no call if from a throw in. I blew the whistle and sold it as o/b. Should I show that I was sleeping on that play and gone to ask partner the situation? Or just try to sell the call as I did? Does this ever happen to you more experienced refs? Or is this a newbie thing only?
