Both scorebooks were being ran by students.
During the 1st dead ball after realizing error(s), buzzed & asked the R to come to table. I discussed to the R that there is a score difference between the scorebooks & the scoreboard. I explained what I saw as to the home score, compared to what both books had recorded. Both books were asked to record what I had stated about about the made free throw just done by home team and to confer with each other the running score. After everything was said & done, both books & scoreboard matched for score shown.
How should this situation of been handled?

I'm a little confused here, are you the other official or are you the scoreboard operator?
Regardless, if the table and the official(s) can come to a conclusion about what happened, and it's just in one (or both) books wrong, then correct the books, get it right on the board, and continue. If we can't reconcile the differences, then the home scorebook is the official book, and we will take that score. The other book should be amended to reflect the home book, and the home book's score should be put up on the board.
After both, I would talk to both head coaches and let them know what's going on.
