I appreciate the case book reference... That is our case EXACTLY. I had a feeling that is what we should have done, but my partner (the one who called the foul) was so certain that we had to count the basket that I didn't argue with him... he's been doing this a lot longer than I. Apparently, this happened in a Cincinnati/Tulane game a couple of years ago and the refs on the game counted the bucket and got in enormous trouble... that's what I was told afterwards.
I was extremely pleased that the team who was screwed by our mistake ended up hitting a long "3" to win the game... very exciting finish, despite our mess-up.
Thanks for all the feedback, guys. I feel better now knowing that I wanted to do the right thing, even though I didn't. Next time I will! Although, there better never be a next time in this type of situation!
