Check page 38, section 5.7.1 of the 2002 Case book. It gives an explanation for a similar situation.
We had a similar issue in a 7th grade playoff game. Early in the game the opponents made a shot just inside the 3-point line. The official correctly signaled a 2, but the scorer and scoreboard operator incorrectly counted the shot as a 3 (both supplied by us, the home team!). Later in the game the guy next to me says the score is wrong, but doesn't make a big deal out of it. We lose in OT.
I went back and checked the film, and found the place where the error occurred. Our coach talks to the opposing coach the next day, and mentions the error. The opposing coach says, "yeah, I knew they screwed up all along". Our coach, dumbfounded, asks the guy if the knowledge kept him awake at night.
Its a great moral debate - how far do you go to be honest?
