Looking for any rule set answers but understand we play under FIBA here. I thing the rules would be similar anywhere in this situation.
If this were a Fed situation, I would acknowledge and accept that a timing mistake had occurred, then give Red the ball for an end line throw-in with 3 seconds still on the clock and the score 56-54 in favor of White.

That's what the rules say to do.
