Are you saying that the ref can send Team B to the line for freethrows and win the game even after the game has ended?? What if the refs hadn't left yet and were walking toward the door and a player verbally abused a ref?? What happens in those scenrios?? You can't send a player to the line for freethrows can you?? And if you can't do that, how can you justify the same thing before a game?? Just questions about what would happen?? Not questioning your knowledge. just wondering??

Yes, actually, an official
can call a T after the game, but before they've left the court. And if the FTs could have an impact on the outcome of the game, then they are administered as part of the 4th quarter.
I did, however, bold part of your statement above - if I'm officiating, I can't think of a scenario in which I'm still on the court 2 1/2 minutes after the game has ended unless there are things playing out that will impact the game...
