Then the answer to the question, "What should I have done?", becomes quite simple. Stop the game as soon as Blue scores in the wrong basket, make sure that the scorekeeper awards the points to the White team, and give the ball to Blue for a run the endline throwin.

Every second that the official waits after Blue scores in the wrong basket to sound his whistle further complicates the situation, and makes it increasingly hard for the players to figure it out on their own, and for the official to "correct" with a later whistle. As the official waits, there can be a few more, "What should I have done?", as each "mistake" dominoes into the next "mistake".
