3 second before the end of 24 seconds device .when the ball was in the hands of player a4 i call for duoble dribbling but it was my mistake and it was legal dribbling so i whistle and said to evreone i'm sorry my mistake and gave the ball back to team a control.
the qestion is:
should i give to team a a new 24 seconds or to continue from where the game stooped and only 3 seconds.
i thing that i was mistaked because we continue the game with only 3 seconds on the 24 seconds device.
what will you do in this situation?

I don't know FIBA rules,but I think that you did the correct thing.As an official,you do not want to punish one team for your mistake,nor do you want to help the other team with the same mistake.If you put 24 seconds back on the clock,you are wrongfully helping the offense,while punishing the defense at the same time. In this case,you are just starting play over exactly where you stopped it, and neither team has gained an advantage because of it.
I think that you did the right thing!
