OK guys, need help with a situation that came up during a Christmas get together with my family. This happened in my cousin's 7th grade basketball game, and I really don't know how I would handled it.

Start of the 4th quarter, and Team A inbounds the balls at mid-court. A1 is fouled by B1, and the basket goes through the hoop, so we have an And-1. Before the free throw is administered, the coach from B calls the officials over and makes them aware that they were shooting at the wrong basket.

The R in the game had the entire game going in the wrong direction, and it was corrected during the free throw like I said. So, what is the ruling??

The officials in the game simply said that the basket counted, and they were going to move everyone to the correct hoop, shoot the And-1, and play on from there.

Technically, from a common sense standpoint, that makes sense, but they wanted to the official rules answer. My answer is that we have a common, non-shooting foul, since it was not a shot because the definition of a shot is attempting to throw the ball into YOUR team's hoop. Therefore, the basket is cancelled, the foul is on the floor, and it is Team A's ball, throw-in on the end line.

I went through, but couldn't think of any CEs this would fall under. Any help would be appreciated!!
