I beg to differ. Case 7.5.2(B) states that an official's error which results in the wrong team having a throw-in is not correctable.
Because it is not one of the correctable errors, you cannot "fix" the situation. Consider this: A1 shoots, B1 gets the rebound, travels under A's basket, then shoots upcourt because neither official called the violation. B passes around a little bit, then puts up a 3. After the ball has gone through the basket, an official recognizes that a travel ocurred and wipes off the points. Correct procedure - NO!!
