The ball was live during the FT and remains live after it because no FT is to follow, despite what the official stated, unless an official sounds the whistle. Only a whistle sounding would make this ball dead.
Notice that the casebook play says that the whistle should be sounded immediately. The problem is what if it isn't?

Then 1 of 2 things will happen:
1. Coach B ( the other guy) will jump up and protest that the bonehead at L said 2 shots instead of 1&1. Then you confer and agree that coach B did get screwed, wipe off the basket and give the ball to the team with the arrow.
Rule? Two dot three, out favorite. L buys post game food & drinks.
2. No one will complain and the game will continue. At the next opportunity ask the L WTF just happened. L only buys first round.
