T after "end" of game...inconsistency in the rules?

Now here's my twist and question: In above scenario only 1 shot was made, so the score is A=57 B=57. As we get ready for the overtime period another T is assessed. (Oh my!) Are we still in the 4th period? or once we determined that an overtime period would be played, are we now in it. IOW, will the overtime now start with 2 freethrows instead of the jump? (I wish I didn't think of these complications.)

Actually, this is the best time to think about complications. Learn it now and apply it on the court.

Once we have determined that there will be an OT period played, it is played. Even if there is another technical after the FT shots are made. The OT period is started with 2 FT and the ball OOB to the offended team.
