Here's the NFHS Case Book play...

I've edited it to deal with the specific situation in the OP...so no, they didn't get it right in terms of the location of the ball.

Quote:
7.5.3 SITUATION:

An official sounds his/her whistle inadvertently...(b) while the pass is in flight from A1 (in A's backcourt) to A2 (in A's frontcourt).

RULING: The ball is put in play at the point of interruption. In (b), since the ball is being passed among teammates and is in flight, it retains the same location as when it was last in contact with A1 in Team A's backcourt. Therefore, Team A is awarded a throw-in at the nearest out-of-bounds spot to where A1 was when the whistle was sounded. (7-4-4; 4-4-3; 4-12-3; 4-36-1, 4-36-2)
