I already provided that info in post #3.

Sure.

Two point shot made with a toe on the 3 point line during play. The covering official incorrectly signals a three. The clock is running and his partner doesn't halt play despite clearly observing the location of the shooter's feet. After the throw-in the opposing team advances the ball to the other end of the court and a foul is called.
The officials must correct the error and properly award only two points for the previous goal before the ball becomes live again.
