In this scenario on the HS level, I would think we should handle it the same way. A classic example of what came first the incorrect travel call or the the foul. Sounds like good team officiating!

I disagree that this is how it should be handled. A whistle blown inadvertently is normally by itself which is why you have to go to POI. In this case it was blown inadvertently but you have another event that is blown at the same time.
The players didn't know that the whistle blown was for a foul or for a travel. They assumed it was for a foul. The inadvertent whistle did not effect the players on this play. Why penalize the offense on this play when we can ignore the inadvertent whistle and penalize what actually took place.
