1) Ref the game to the end. From the description of that foul, it needs to be made no matter how much time is left. To let that one go is asking for trouble due to frustration.

2) You should know when a team gets to 6 team fouls if for no other reason than to keep the game flowing nicely. The game will move on better if you signal one-and-one on the 7th foul and your partner(s) can get the teams ready for free throws. If you signal the foul and point to the throw-in spot (because you aren't aware that you're in bonus), it doesn't look for good (IMHO) to then have to adjust after the scorer's table tells you that it's bonus time.

3) I'd educate that rookie after the game about why that foul needed to be called and also about the importance of being a supportive partner.
