That's not what happened, is it?

If there's confusion on the part of the officials AND both teams, you score all baskets for the team that shot the ball and you turn the teams around and send them in the proper direction.

And had this been deemed confusion solely on the part of the B player who took the shot at the wrong end, it wouldn't be 3 points for A, only 2.

Because it isn't a try, it's a live ball passing through the basket.

A shot at the wrong basket does not meet the definition of a try, therefore it cannot be a 3 point try. Therefore it only counts 2.

Along these same lines: A leads by 1 as time winds down. A1 throws the ball high into the air with 1 second left. Buzzer sounds, after which ball goes through B's basket. No points. Game over. A wins. Everybody associated with B has a fit.

Smitty08 ... following up your reply - would you then turn the teams around in the right direction or leave it be?

It appears that the conclusion is 2 points to Team A and Team B gets the ball.

Going same direction or switch them to be going the correct way ...

That isn't the correct conclusion. If everyone - officials, Team A and Team B all were confused and playing at the wrong basket (B shooting at A's basket and A defending their own basket), then you award the points to B as if they were shooting at their own basket.

If right after the shot the error was noticed, the officials would whistle play dead, make sure everything was counted (3 points for B in this scenario), then inform everyone to switch baskets and take Team A to the opposite end line to inbound going the correct direction.

The only way it's 2 points to A in this scenario is if A was aware of the correct direction and didn't defend. Then you would award 2 points to A and give B the ball on the endline.

So, there is no conclusion on what should have done ...

I know for sure these officials were not ready for the game to start
