There is an apparent discrepancy when handling shooting at the wrong goal at the tip-off to star the game and during the game. If team A gains possession of the tip-off and shoots at team B's basket, we give the points to A but make sure they realize they went the wrong way. But if the same thing occurred at any other time, we give the points to B. Why the difference? Why not just tell them they need to shoot at the other goal but give the points to B? The only difference is when the confusion occurred.

Unless the teams were lined up incorrectly, I'd give the points out the same way both times, according to which basket the ball passed through.
I also figure that when a basket is shot at the wrong goal later in a game, everyone in the gym but the shooter can tell, and there is no need to remind everyone which is the proper goal.
