Correct ?

Holy crap.

No, they didn't do it right. Once the throw in is complete, it's too late to correct this. No way you're wiping a basket here.

Yeah, that kind of sums up how this was (mis)handled.

If they caught the error within 24 seconds, they could...wait, this isn't an NBA game.

No, they did not handle the situation correctly by rule.

6.4.1 SITUATION D: It is Team B’s turn for the next throw-in under the alternating-
possession procedure. By mistake, Team A is given that throw-in. Team A
(a) commits a throw-in violation, or (b) releases the ball on the alternating-possession
throw-in, but before the ball is legally touched inbounds, Team A or Team
B commits a foul. RULING: Once the throw-in ends – it is too late to change anything.
In (a), the throw-in ends when Team A violates and results in a throw-in for
Team B as well as the arrow for the next alternating possession. In (b), the alternating-
possession throw-in did not end when the foul occurred. Therefore, the
Rule 6 2011-12 NFHS Basketball Case Page 54
alternating-possession mistake is corrected and the arrow now favors Team B;
penalize the foul appropriately. (4-42-5; ; 6-4-4; 6-4-5)
