When the scorekeeper fouls up - what can the Referee do?

Specifically - They struggled with the possession arrow. Partner and I tried to keep a close watch in 8th grade game.

Last few seconds - Jump Ball. Signaled towards arrow direction - crowd on its feet. 12 seconds left to get off a winning shot, baseline under their basket. Coach wants Time Out to draw up a play.

Table signals us. We're told arrow was pointing wrong way. Other direction correct, ball should go to team up by two. Players in tight huddle with coach's.

As discussion insues - Coach says that possession should be kept manually in the book too. Correct? That would determine if there was a mistake.

We said to coach's that the arrow box was a message and IF the scorekeeper was SURE she did not change it correctly (she said she was certain) we went with her word. We did not have the manual book to back us up.

We went with scorekeeper, changed directions and time ran out.

Tough night.

Suggestions?
