Great Question ...

Great question. The answer to this is easy if both officials make eye contact with each other, realize that their call is not the same as their partner's, blow the whistle to stop the clock during the dead ball period after the ball goes through the basket, confer to see who got the best look, come to a mutually agreed upon conclusion, and report this mutually agreed upon conclusion to the table, after which the nonscoring team will get to put the ball in play by a throwin on the endline during which they can "run the line".

Now let's make the situation more complex. No eye contact is made, the officials don't realize that they have made different calls, nor does the scorekeeper realize that two officials made two different calls, so the scorekeeper doesn't blow the horn for an immediate conference. Several possessions later, including a few dead ball periods, a coach realizes that the score isn't right because one team has either been credited with a three that they didn't deserve, or with a two that was a three. The coach calls timeout to discuss this situation, the time limit for a correctable error has long passed.

Now, answer me this. Is this a true correctable error situation, that cannot now be corrected due to the time limit? Or. Is this a bookkeeping mistake, because the scorekeeper looked at only one official, not two, and didn't realize that there were two differing calls?
