I would have a beef. . .
with a crew that saw this and chose to ignore it. I had this happen with one extra staying on, and the refs made the ball live then immediately called the T, indicating that they knew what they were doing when they made the ball live. What was the point? I still don't know two years later!
Manage the game, and communicate with the bench. This is a dead ball! You don't have to make it live until you get the subs right. There is nothing good that comes from letting this play out, in any game. Since this was a blowout, by doing so you ended up in a far more ridiculous situation and extended your game a bit while trying to figure out how to handle it and administering a T. But in a close game, would you really want to let an extra player leave, or stay, without just fixing it then and there?
Get this right so the game can be played correctly on the court.
