When we go to the table they tell us we have given the ball to the wrong team on the alternating possession to start the quarter.

Here is how we handled it:

We didn't allow the basket and we gave the ball to White based on this is not a correctable error situation. We then made sure the alternating possession arrow was for Team blue.

1. Was this handled correctly?

2. We told the clock keeper to not buzz until a dead ball. Is this good advice or when would be a situaion where they might buzz during a live ball situation?

Thanks!

No, you did not handle this correctly.

1) Ignore the Horn until the Ball is Dead.

2) Score the FG Attempt by W1.

3) Keept the AP Arrow set to Blue.

4) Tell Blue's HC that he will get two of the next three AP Arrow Throw-ins (optional).

5) Put the Ball into play by a Throw-in by Blue anywhere behind the Endline in its Backcourt.
