Upon administering the throw in, the official points toward the wrong basket and awards Team B (from Georgia) the ball ... On the inbound play, Team B makes a three-point field goal at what turns out to be the wrong basket.

The officials then awarded Team A the three points and then gives Team B the ball going the other direction which turns out to be the proper direction.

Correctly done or not? Or what should have been done?
Not a correctible error. Award two points to Team A (was not a try by definition). Team B gets to run the baseline on the ensuing throw in just like on any other made basket.
