Well, at least you learned the proper way to handle this situation. I'm surprised though that you have never had this come up before. It seems that lower level teams score in the wrong basket quite frequently.
Your Case Book reference is 10.1.8 and the Comment at the end. Also, in the Simplified and Illustrated the procedure which tells you to stop the game after a goal at the wrong basket is on the top of page 23. It's labelled 4-5-2.
It was very upstanding of you and your partner to admit your mistake and send the email. I think it is their loss, if that conference doesn't invite you back. You seem to care about getting it right (even though you made a mistake this time), and I would think that they would want the conscientious official on the court.
