For the most part I think you say it loud and say it often before putting the ball in play and hope either the players or the coaches get it quick.
I don't follow the arguement that this is an officials error (in this OP) because they made it very ckear which direction they were supposed to be heading. If Team A inbounds the ball and starts the wrong way its a player/coach error regardless of where the defense lines up. As stated by others, the NFHS procedure being cited is for times when the officials actually screw up the throwin on their own accord.

First, there is no circumstance where you award team A two points and then give team A the ball. I'm sure that's not what you meant. Second when a team is attacking the wrong basket and the other team is defending that wrong basket, when you realize it, you stop it
then. You don't have to wait for any certain thing to happen.
As posted earlier in this thread:
4-5-4: If by mistake officials permit a team to go the wrong direction,
when discovered all points scored, fouls committed, and time consumed shall count as if each team had gone the proper direction.
Play shall resume with each team going the proper direction based on bench location.
