Depends on what happened.

If the official correctly signals 3 (or correctly does not signal) and the book records 2 (or 3), that's a bookkeeping error that can be corrected anytime (during the game).

If the official incorrectly signals 3 (or incorrectly fails to signal 3) and the book records what the official signalled, then it's a correctable error.

Thank you. Great clarification.

Got it, thanks.

As a scorekeeper if I don't see hands in the air or the two fingers to the waist then I'm writing 2 in my book.If I have a good look at the shot then I'll ask about it at a dead ball.

Common sense tells me the coach should get his timeout when he's normally allowed to request one. No way should he be allowed to stop the opponents' fast break with this.

Lots of words to get there, but it sounds like you got there.
