The ball was live as soon as the FT shooter got it from the administering official, as per rule 6-1-2(c). Because of the official's error in not blowing it dead when the FT was missed, it remained live throughout the rebound and the subsequent shot.

The error made was that the official(s) didn't blow the ball dead when they should have.
Huh? There was a FT to follow and the ball remained live simply b/c there was no whistle? The ball becomes dead in that situation as soon as it is clear that the try will not be successful. If there is another FT to follow, no whistle is required for the ball to be dead. In fact, if I remember my basketball fundamentals, the whistle rarely causes the ball to become dead.
I don't have my books with me, but from the online rulebook at NFHS.ORG, we see that:

Rule 6-7-2-a -- The becomes dead, or remains dead, when it is apparent the free throw will not be successful on a free throw which is to be followed by another free throw.
