I know huh Sound the whistle, find out what my partner said, go to AP

I'm confused how you came up with giving the ball to Team B and taking the basket away from Team A, since it was A5 who got the rebound. You just gave Team B a free rebound without making them pay for it in any way, such as with the AP arrow.

Right! It was just a wake-up call. Apparently I need to be in the rule book during the off-season as well!

I could understand an official saying that the ball became dead prior to the goal due to the mistake and thus no basket, but still Team A retains possession when the game resumes since that team did get the rebound. It wouldn't be truly correct, but it would be a reasonable ruling for an official who didin't know the case play with great precision.
