That was a trick I used when I was scorekeeping, as it has happened to me several times. It doesn't say that this should be done in the rulebook, it's just a trick that I used so if I had to add up the score due to a discrepency and I would not miss those two points. I don't know what other scorekeepers do.

You did just fine. You told the score keeper to make a note. Exactly what should that note say? It should say that A2 put the ball in the wrong basket for team B. Exactly as you said.

"Told her to count the basket, and put in a note that it was A2 who made the basket for team B."

I don't think anyone else throught you were suggesting "crediting A2" with the score.

It is obviously better to have more detail in any note on an unusual situation.
