Need help on a call in high school basketball game

Wondering if anyone knows the rules on this play.

Last night in a high school game in Phoenix.

Orange team is up by 3 and gets fouled. They are at 9 team fouls and the foul that happens puts them at 10 but the refs and the official score table miss that. The kid on the orange team shoots a 1 and 1 instead of 2. He misses it and the Green team gets the rebound.

There are 32 seconds left. Green team goes down the court works for a shot, drive in and get a two shot foul called on Orange team with 9 seconds left. Kid on green team is at the line ready to shoot when the scorers table calls the refs over. After a lengthy discussion they decide to let the kid on the Orange team go back to the other end of the court to take one more foul shot. He happened to be the kid who fouled against the green team on the other end and that was his 5th so in a way he has already fouled out.

The kid on the Orange team makes his free throw and they are now up by 4. He leaves the court as he is fouled out.

My question or comment is....isn't that a non reversable call on missing the 2 shot foul vs the 1 on 1 foul once the action goes down the court and another call is made. (green team shooting a 2 shot foul)

Green team is lined up to shoot their 2 free throws...stop action....let the orange kid who has fouled out go back down the court and make his 1 shot then take it back to the other end for the green teams 2 shots.

End of the story is that green made 1st missed second and time ran out. Green lost by 3.

Can anyone give insight on the rules about reversing calls and when it is too late??? I am the assistant coach and we argued it was too late but????
