Nope, I was watching too and Jay's description is exactly right. The relevant rule is NCAA 3-4.6: "Substitution shall not be allowed when the game si stopped in the 59.9 seconds of the second half or any extra period to correct a timer's mistake or for an inadvertent whistle."
My guess is that a whistle for the purpose of retrieving the ball was not considered inadvertent, so the sub was allowed. But Jay's question also bothered me as I was watching.
