My two cents:
1. I agree with everything JR wrote.
2. Here's the case book play requested (the number has changed in the newest version):
4.41.2 SITUATION: A1 becomes confused and throws the ball at the wrong basket. A1 is fouled by B1 and the ball goes into the basket. Is this a successful basket? If A1 missed, would A1 be awarded two free throws for the foul by B1? RULING: No goal. The ball became dead when the foul occurred. When a player throws at the opponent's basket, it is not a try. If the team is in the bonus when B1 fouled A1, A1 is given either a one-and-one attempt or two free throws at Team A's basket. If Team A was not in the bonus, then the ball is awarded to Team A for a throw-in at the out-of-bounds spot nearest the foul. (7-5-5)
3. Texas Aggie is EXACTLY correct on the proper mechanic to use when a team scores in the wrong goal due to confusion. This is detailed on page 21 of the Simplified and Illustrated book from the NFHS.
"4-5-2 Number 4 is confused and dunks the ball in B's basket. The covering official stops play after the dunk and credits the two points to Team B. Team A will then be given the ball for a throw-in from anywhere outside the end line."
An accidental tip-in requires no stoppage as all the players know the proper direction of play. Just make sure that the correct team makes the throw-in.
