Chalk it up to stupid rules IMO. I believe that a penalty against a team losing the game on the last play of regulation should not extend the game. Just my belief.
This is done quite frequently by the "smart" teams in flag football. You might think High School coaches are dumb, but the teams that go to nationals for flag football know the rulebooks better than some of us officials do. They know that they gain field position by running the "two pass" play and get a play.
