Teams line up going the wrong way to start the overtime and the officials don't catch it. A5 taps to A1 who lays the ball up and in the wrong basket. Officials correctly allow play to continue though realizing very quickly what is happening. As soon as the basket is made R1 stops play explains that the basket will count for A and B will be given an inbound where? My question is would you walk down to the other end and give them the ball there where they would have to go the length of the court, or would you let them take the ball out under their own basket. I would lean towards going to the other end.

Yes, you go to the other end -- A just scored, so B gets the throw-in "under" (no nit-picking here, please) A's basket. A's basket is at the other end.
If the players are lined up the right way, and a player goes the wrong way, then it's either a backcourt violation, or a 10-second violation, or a basket for the other team. As soon as the other team tries a thorw-in (if they've now become confused) blow the whistle and stop play. You *could* assess a T for this, but I wouldn't.
