Six on the floor...count the basket?

17U AAU game - hotly contested, semi-final of national qualifier

Black ready to inbound. As they bring in the ball, bench and crowd erupts with screams of "six men on the floor". Chaos ensues. Black races up the floor, six-on-five, makes a basket. Play stops. Sixth player runs off the floor. Officials see what's transpired, call a tech on black. White coach asks if basket counts. Official tells the coach, since the basket was scored before the officials noticed the problem, the basket counted. White coach sends three or four benchwarmers on the floor, and asks the official if he noticed that. Coach invited to sit the rest of the game.

I suspect the official was correct in his interpretation. Just wanted to get your thoughts.

Might have been funny if it hadn't happened to us.
