What would you do.

Not a correctable error, but I think this is fixable (not by rule). Most important thing is to get it right and I do not think it would be wrong to fix it at this point. I would just "assume" that the other official came in and realized the violation when it occured.

Too late to go back

Disagree completely. You screwed up. You missed the call. It's now too late to do anything. You can't go back and give the call CPR and bring it back to life either. Just admit it and take your lumps. This is no time to start making up your own rules...especially when you can't really give any kind of rationale, if asked, for for going back to do what you're recommending.

Agreed. Just shallow it and try to get the next one right

Your choice is to do nothing. It is too late.

I had this happen to me this season and it seemed like everything went into slow motion. It was one of those nights where there wasn't any other games being played and the two teams didn't like each other. The coaches had actually almost got in a fist fight last summer. The coaches didn't want to play each other, but the ADs said the games would be played. When I made the call, even the officials in the crowd (on the endline) paused for a second. I knew something wasn't right because I had just told the kid it was a spot throw in.

BTW, I have the rematch at the other school this coming Thursday. This assigner has really been good to me considering I'm new. Maybe I can ref a little.
