Coaches are yelling about going the wrong way so the referees blow the whistle and stop play with Team B in their backcourt.
Basket counted for Team B and team B was given the ball in their backcourt b/c that's where they were at the point of interruption. Note that the officials had not "called" backcourt
I thought that Team A should have gotten the ball b/c the point of interruption was a violation.
Thoughts?

Unfortunately this is not correctable. the only thing the officials can do is stop play and point the players at the right basket. POI is where the ball was when the play was stopped NOT where the officials "thought" it should go.
If anything Team A SHOULD have had the ball after they made it in the wrong basket. But once again this is all not correctable.
