Team A is inbounding the ball in the fourth quarter of a close game. A2 gives a particularly ugly pick...throws her forearms out. I call her for the push, and confidently say: "Team control foul! B ball!" Everything is fine, and I hand the ball to team B on the end line...

and a thought hatches in my head. It was a throw-in. There's no team control. Damn.

If you were me...well, you would have gotten it right the first time (as I will henceforward). But if you were me, standing on the endline doing your 5-second count for B, would you:

1. Toot your whistle, say: "No! It's not a team control foul! It was a throw-in! One-and-one!" and walk everybody down to the other end for free throws? The benefit is that it's right...the detriment is it makes you look uncertain.
2. Let B in-bound the ball, figuring you're the only one who knows you've screwed up? The benefit is a smooth game, the detriment is that it's, well, wrong.
