do over. You can correct this.

Unless Team A did this intentionally to delay the game.

Even if A did this intentionally, you have a do-over.
If team A scores then inbounds, you do the following (after blowing the whistle, obviously):
(1) Reset time on the clock from when A inbounded.
(2) Cancel the basket scored by A, if any (the one after their illegal inbounds).
(3) Cancel all fouls, other than technical, intentional, or flagrant.
(4) Charge team A with a technical foul, unless it was done out of confusion.

I cannot find a casebook play regarding this play, but I am sure that there is probably one out there somewhere. But, this is not a correctable error. The correctable error definition does NOT and canNOT be applied to this play.
The closest play that I can find to this play is NFHS Casebook Play 7.5.2B: Team A is awarded a throw-in near the difision line. The administering official by mistake,putsthe ball at B1's disposal. B1 completes the throw-in and Team B subsequently scores a goal. RULING: No correction can be made for the mistake by the official.
This RULING would apply to NCAA rules also.
I believe that Play 7.5.2B is pretty darn close to the posted play.: The T did not realize that the wrong team had made the throw-in until after the wrong team had scored. If the administering official in the posted play catches the mistake as soon as throw-in occurs, i.e., catching the mistake at anytime before the throw-in ends, then you do have a "do over." If the administering official catches the mistake before the throw-in ends, then I would ignore any common fouls but not intentional, flagrant, and technical fouls. I would not reset the game clock.
It has been my expiernce that this type of play (the posted play, i.e., Team A scores and Team A mistakenly grabs the ball for a throw-in) occurs most often during games in the jr. H.S. age group and below.
But if in the administering official's judgement, Team A's actions were not a mistake but a deliberate act, then a delay a game technical foul should be charged against the Team A player who took possesion of the ball and took it out of bound for the attempted throw-in [NFHS R10-S3-A7a; NCAA R10-S3-A20 (indirect technical foul)], and if the game is being played under NFHS rules a warning per R4-S46-A3 would be issued to Team A if it had not already recieved a warning per R4-S46-A3.
