The only problem with doing it that way is that you take a fast break away: the defense now has time to properly set up the defense they want, rather than the defense that they can muster because the offense quickly brings the ball back into play. If it is very late in the game, then it does make a difference.

Delaying the fix might give the new offense a false impression of how much they're losing by, and may adversely affect their offensive choices if they don't have the information to which they're entitled.

Either way, it's a no-win situtation. These errors just irk the heck out of me because they're official's errors.
