I went and watched the highlight on ESPN. You are correct that this is illegal under NFHS rules.
Either team is allowed to contact the ball. The announcers explained that rather clearly before they even started showing replays.

It's a rules difference, just like FIBA allows the ball to be taken off the rim. Guess international basketball isn't real either.
