Double overtime game.
At the 30 seconds remaining mark, officials verify everything matches with scoreboard, book and visiting team book.
At horn, officials give thumps up to table and run off court
Scoreboard reflects visiting team 60 home team 59
As officials are leaving gym, home team coach presents home book that indicates score is actually tied 59 all.
Assume there is no mistake in book.
What did we approve when we ran off the floor - scoreboard or book?
What do we do as officials?
Regardless of answer, what should coach do?

No it doesn't. It says at 30 seconds, both, books and the scoreboard match. Assuming nothing changes in the last 30 seconds, when the horn sounds it still is 60-59 visitors.
