What would your supervisor say to you if you had done this?

Depends on the supervisor. I know how I'd feel personally if I was the supervisor: Disappointed that the officials lost focus and gave the ball to the wrong team, but secretly thrilled -- because I think the current rule and interpretation is beyond idiotic.

How would you make the rule better? At what point would you figure that it was too late to correct the mistake?

Easily done. Recognized before the next dead ball. Would allow officials to fix 95% of these situations.
