The 3rd quarter wasn't over.

You're missing Brian's point. Yes, the ball becomes dead when a quarter ends but, in this case, the quarter has not ended because the FTs from the foul had not been shot. Since the T was called before the FTs were shot, the T is also part of that quarter.

5-6-3
If a foul occurs:
a. So near the expiration of time that the timer cannot get the clock stopped before time expires.
b. After time expires, but while the ball is in flight during a try or tap for field goal.

The quarter or extra period ends when the free throw(s) and all related activity have been completed. No penalty or part of a penalty carries over from one quarter or extra period to the next.

Going to the AP arrow to start the next quarter is the proper call.
