I realize you described 'Per rule procedures'. Right after the play ALL 3 officials are in DEEEEEP do-do. About 99% of Coaches (and officials) wouldn't know the correct ruling. So why not, for the good of the game, just do a redo? That is what they did. They said it was a correctable error.
Because ignorance is no excuse.
Because you further complicate things with another mistake.

How would you tell the Home Coach... "We messed up and gave the ball to your team. Then we messed up an allowed your team to commit a backcourt violation. Then your team scored 2 points for the other team. But Hey, don't be mad at us. At least you get the ball and you can run the endline"
Exactly, although I would address it with the coach without the sarcasm.

I have talked to 5 oficials so far and all would do a redo.
Well, now you've talked to 6 and 5 would do a redo.
