End of Game Technical Difficulties

Situation discussed at our association meeting that took place locally:

Closing seconds of a Division II game. Team A is up by one point. Team B’s final shot is rejected and a fast break ensues with A1 intentionally fouled by B1. Official blows the whistle and the crew is using the Precision Timing System. The whistle is followed by the buzzer (there is a definite separation between the whistle and buzzer, but almost instantaneous).

Team A’s bench comes onto the court, celebrating their win assuming the game is over, and a technical is called against a Team A player for comments directed at an official.

Team B shoots per the technical and makes both shots to go up by one. Team A shoots the two shots for the intentional, misses both. Now Team A is down by one.

Officials determine that 2/10s of a second will be put back on the clock. Team A misses the final tap attempt, game over.

Aside from the officials not penalizing Team A for coming onto the court, is there a specific rule/case for NCAA that addresses the end of game situation using PTS?

This could certainly happen in a HS game? What is the course of action?
