We changed the foul from 5 to 45, disqualified 45 and brought 5 back into the game. It was the right thing to do.

I had a situation similar to this one also. I reported 2 fouls back to back on 40 instead of on 50, realized the mistake a minute later, and confessed. This is good when everybody agrees. A bookkeeping mistake can certainly be corrected. BUT, if A calls time out and both books say A has no time outs, even if you are
positive that A has one left, I see no rule that allows you to overrule the official scorer and not call a technical, unless you can convince him/her that a mistake has been made.
e.g. "Remember the time out just before the half, that was B's time out."
"Oh, yeah, I do remember! I charged that one to A. My bad!"
