The one time I remember it happening to me, we followed the rule. Coach was upset but let it go quickly.

Maybe if I’d caught it sooner, a blip after the throw-in ended, we would have fixed it. But the erroneously awarded team was already running its offense in the frontcourt. At that point I don’t feel like anything good would come from ignoring the rule.

Here's a phrase that'll help remembering the correct ruling on this: "It's not a "Correctable Error", but it is an error that can be corrected -- if caught in time."

7-6-6: When an official administers a throw-in to the wrong team, the mistake must be rectified before the throw-in ends.
