Nice catch, JMF.
Joel, if you get an NFHS rule book, take a look at Rule 2, Section 10, Article 2. This will pinpoint when the window of opportunity closes on a correctable error. (So does Article 3, but that doesn't apply here.) In your case, as long as Green didn't have the ball in his hands ("at his disposal") for his free throw, then the window is still open. As JMF pointed out, once Green has the ball, the ball is live after the first dead ball after the clock started, and the window is closed.
For my own curiosity, though, you had teams wearing green and orange. Didn't anyone wear white?
