In this case, the only way you award a goal to A for scoring in B's basket is if the teams and officials all are going the "wrong way". In this case, it sounds as if the only confusion was A1 who scored. Edit: It doesn't sound as if the officials "permitted" it, rather A just went to the wrong basket.

I see what you are saying. It seems that I got confused by what was written under "Issue:" by L4A.
If indeed the jumpers were facing the proper direction to start the game, then the basket should be scored for Team B. This is play 4-5-2 in the Simplified and Illustrated.
"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."
