I learned coach told them to intentionally foul (which is a seperate sportsmanship topic). Was this handled correctly?

Yup; handled properly.
If a team is going to use this technique to end the game, do your best to see the clock greater than zero after the whistle sounds. This gives them the throw-in, even if it's far away. They could still make a game of it even if they miss a FT.
