In this case, the trail should have also been waiting for the horn in my opinion. Those two should have been able to talk the lead out of administering free throws due to the period ending.

I will have to re-watch it. We often will sound the whistle to signify the end of play for the quarter. Especially if a shot goes up, time expires and there is no way for the try to be successful. If the C comes out with a whistle, then if the L is late with his, then the contact get ignored.
Okay, I re-watched it. If C would have come out with a whistle with his hand up at the horn and with the attempt not getting even close, it would have prevented the call by L from being made. Or at least it should have.
