I agree it was handled correctly and the C showed great awareness of the situation. I just want to point out that these injury situations are handled differently in NCAA and NFHS. In both cases, the play is killed when the offensive team stops moving to the basket or when the offensive play has been completed. However, "scoring play" is handled differently.

In HS, the scoring play is completed when the try is released. You blow the whistle immediately. If the ball goes in, it counts. If it misses, we go to the arrow.

In NCAA, the scoring play is allowed to continue until the offensive team has stopped attempting to score. So if a shot is released and misses, but the offensive team gets the rebound right under the basket, we're going to wait for the put-back before we blow the whistle. If that player passes the ball instead of shooting it, then the scoring play is over and we blow the whistle for the injury.

So the crew on that game handled it correctly. They didn't stop the game because they gave Kansas their "one try" and then killed it. They stopped the game because the scoring play had ended when the ball came out to the free throw line.
