OT starts with two FTs for the visitors with the lane cleared, followed by a division line throw in. Home gets the AP arrow.

That's fine. That's the rule which is really easy (if you know the rule). If the 4th quarter ends and the score is tied, anything subsequent is part of OT. If the score isn't tied, the technical is part of the fourth quarter (since there is no overtime without a tied score) and FTs are shot if they can affect who wins (or ties) the game.
Some of this stuff comes pretty easy to those of us who have experience and know the rules, but it's just a reminder that a lot of games are worked with 2 first year officials (for example) and reflexive rule knowledge isn't quite there yet.
Of course if the official did ask the varsity officials and they gave the wrong answer (I wasn't there), shame on them.
