What would the procedure be if white inbounded the ball? Many things could happen, they score, foul on white or blue, turnover, etc. What should be done?

Notice it before the ball is inbounded like those officials did.
By rule, once the ball is inbounded it's too late to fix it. There is a specific case play on this.
I'll get flamed for this, but I'm a strong believer that officials should do everything they can to avoid letting a major administration mistake like this screw up game for the players. If it happened in my game and I could catch it real quick after the ball was inbounded (and before a score or foul occurred), I'd blow it dead and give it to the right team.
