Looking for any rule set answers but understand we play under FIBA here. I thing the rules would be similar anywhere in this situation.
Smoke,

At any time if you have definate knowledge of a timing error you can adjust the clock accordingly. Therefore if you knew for sure (100%) that this play took more then 3 seconds, wave the basket off, explain the reasoning and the game goes to OT. FIBA rules, start the OT with AP.

If you do not have definate knowledge, well that's a whole 'nother can of worms...
