I realize that it should have been H's ball underneath after they scored, so I wave off the last basket and I go up to the table and let them know what I have. As I was explaining it, the official waiting for the JV comes up behind the table yelling NO NO NO saying V34 gets the basket. I don't think he realize I was just disallowing the last shot.
So my questions are;
1. Am I correct in disallowing the second shot? and
2. WTF?

I'd say you were correct if you deemed it to be intentional. You could call a T but it sounded like waving it off was enough. In a blowout game like that coaches usually put in their subs and they sometimes forget or don't know what basket their shooting at. If that's the case points to the V team. As for that JV official I'd have told him to MYOB.
