End of Game Question

I haven't posted to the forum before but I have learned a lot in the past few months reading about the logic behind the rulings and their implementation. That being said, we had a situation in a tournament this past weekend and I have not been able to get a definitive answer on the issue.

Boys 15U AAU tournament in Akron

Team A up one with 7 seconds left trying to inbound from under their own basket throws long inbound pass that is intercepted just past half court by Team B. Player from Team B dribble past center court and shoots and hits the rim but misses. He gets the long rebound and is going up for a second shot as he is obviously fouled. It looks like the contact on the shooting arm starts before the horn but it is questionable if the ball is out of his hand before time runs out.

The official called the shooting foul and both freethrows were made to win the game by 1 with no time remaining. Any issues with the call (assuming the contact was before the horn and ball did not leave his hand until after).

Before you ask... I am not an official but I am an engineer so I enjoy detailed banter

Thanks.....
