T foul shots are shot at wrong basket. Now what?

Is it one of the correctable errors?

In amateur basketball, the free throws are cancelled, and the free throws are attempted again at the correct basket. The team that shot the free throws then gets the ball at the division line opposite the table (NFHS, NCAAW player/substitute and bench technical fouls), or the game resumes from the point of interruption (NCAAW administrative technical fouls, NCAAM).

In professional basketball, shooting free throws at the wrong basket is not a correctable error. In a game under pro rules, technical free throws attempted at the wrong basket would stand, with the game resuming from the point of interruption.

FIBA Article 44 (Correctable Errors) also does not recognize free throws shot at the wrong basket as an error. Following the free throw(s), the game would resume from the point of interruption.

Wrong Way Riegels ...
 

Depends the time frame of the error being discovered.

2.10.4 Situation B: The officials erroneously permit A1 to shoot technical foul free throws at Team B’s basket; A1 makes both free throws. When the error is discovered, the time frame for the correctable error (a) has not passed; or (b) has passed. Ruling: In (a), cancel the successful free throws by A1 and administer the free throws again at the correct basket. In (b), the free throws by A1 shall not be canceled and count toward Team A’s point total.

Another Wrong Basket ...
 

Another situation caused by an official's mistake of a player shooting at the wrong basket.

4-5-4: If by mistake the officials permit a team to go the wrong direction, when discovered all points scored, fouls committed, and time consumed must count as if each team had gone the proper direction. Play must resume with each team going the proper direction based on bench location.

5.2.1 Situation F: During the pregame practice period, the visiting team properly uses the east goal and the home team the west goal. The officials, by mistake, allow the jumpers to face the wrong direction to start the game. Several baskets are scored before it is recognized that both teams are throwing the ball into the opponent’s basket. Ruling: All points scored count as if the teams had gone the right direction and scored in their own basket. Once the mistake is recognized, play shall continue with each team attempting to score in its own basket. (4-5-4)

Yet Another Wrong Basket ...
 

This time it's caused, not by an official's mistake, by a player's confusion.

5.2.3 Situation: A1 completes the throw-in to A2 to begin the second half. A2 is confused and dribbles toward the basket Team A used during the first half and dunks the ball into the basket of Team B. Ruling: Legal goal. Two points are awarded to Team B. The ball is bounced to a player of Team A out of bounds at the basket of Team B. Team A may put the ball in play from anywhere along the end line as after any score by B (earned or awarded). (5-2-1; 7-5-7)
