Lack of concentration happens during the regular season, it sounds to me that is what happen here.

Well I do not think I would have tried to wave everything off in this sitaution. This is summer league and I would have used some common sense here to keep things moving. But the official that was not ready should have stopped everything before it got started. If he was not ready or something else need to be taken care of, he should have just blown his whistle and stopped play all together. But the official administering the FT, should have not done anything until his partner was ready as well.
But this is summer league and strange things happen and strange rules can confuse everyone. So I would not worry about it one way or another, because all the "real factors" are not at play.
Peace
