If you can get everyone on the same page with no hiccups, then go for it.

Since everyone is likely confused, it's good practice to stop the game, verbalize what happened and how we're continuing.

I'm definitely not arguing your point but is there a rule citation that says a basketball made at the wrong basket could not be worth three points? I can't seem to find one.
