The officials did appear to leave the court. It looks as if they left the playing court just outside the endline.

Per NFHS Case 5.6.2 Sit F, they did not leave the visual confines of the playing area.

Furthermore, see case 2.2.4 Sit C for this...nearly exact... scenario. Per the case, they actually ruled everything correctly....presuming that the shot was indeed after the expiration of time.

Lastly, case 2.2.1 Sit A allows for video review. I presume that Minnesota does not allow this for their state tournaments. If not, perhaps this game will push them to include it going forward.
