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

[Lotto]

I was just looking in the rule book (NCAA) and noticed the following:

Rule 5, Section 7:
Art. 4. When a direct or indirect technical foul occurs after the ball has become dead to end a period, the next period shall be started by administering the free throw(s) and play shall resume at the point of interruption. This shall apply when the foul occurs after the first half has ended or after the second half or any extra period has ended, provided there is to be an (other) extra period.
a . When there is no way to determine whether there will be an extra period until the free throw(s) for a technical foul are administered, the free throw(s) shall be attempted immediately, as if the technical foul had been part of the preceding period.

My question is, exactly what does "no way to determine" mean? Suppose we have a 2 shot technical after the end of the second half. It's clear that we shoot the technicals now if the shooting team is down 1 or 2 points. Do we shoot now or at the beginning of the overtime if the game is tied? If the shooting team is down by one point and makes both shots, is the game over?

Could someone clarify this for me?
