High School Girls basketball game (Fed Rules). A held ball is called and the arrow is mistakenly pointing the wrong direction. The officials look at the arrow and award the ball to Team B. Coach from Team A is at the table pointing out the mistake as the ball is handed to the inbound passer. The official scorer seems to agree that there was a mistake, but does nothing. Team B inbounds the ball and scores. Team A comes down the floor, scores and the ball goes back the other way where a dead ball occurs. Things are explained to the the officials and they confer about it. After a short time, the officials talk to each coach and things stay the way they are.
My question is: What more could the coach of Team A have done to get this taken care of before the next dead ball? I think the horn should have been sounded as soon as the mistake was discovered and things could have been corrected immediately.
