Bingo. Not only did all the players stop playing, but the Center official is starting to switch! Stop the play, to prevent something stupid from happening and give a throw-in to the team in control.
This seems to me like one of those times when officials indicate the wrong number of free throws. Everybody stops playing except the one kids who knows it's only one shot. He steps in and puts back an uncontested lay-up. In that case, we disallow the extended play and resume with a throw-in. I think this is the same thing. Everybody (including at least one official) thought the ball was dead, and yet they allowed one kid to make an uncontested play.
Kill it, and re-start with a throw-in to the team that had control. Forget about the travel completely.
