I'm not even going to guess on the number of laps, but maybe I can reduce it 10%.
There is a provision at the beginning of the game that would cause you to award 3 points to team A. If a team shoots at the wrong hoop, while confused, and the other team makes an effort to defend the play (obviously also confused), then you have the option of stopping the game, awarding the points according to which team did the shooting, re-instructing the players on the direction they should be going, and continuing from there. However, if the defense recognizes the mistake and makes no attempt to defend the shot, the points are awarded according to the basket.
So, blow the clock dead, and make your decision. Stand tall, explain it twice to each coach, and go from there. Either 3 points for team A or 2 points for team B. Your explanation sells your credibility.
