6th Foul, Then Technical Foul Question

Hoping someone can give light to this situation. I am a 2nd yr basketball official in CT. This scenario is from a HS varsity game played Tuesday 1/13/09. I was in the stands watching the game (my son plays on the jv team). The game was close to the end. Team B won by 3 points. Team A was down by 2 points with 45 seconds left.

This is under NFHS rules of course.

Scenario:
Team A has 5 team fouls and team B has the ball. Player A1 is called for a non shooting holding foul (team's 6th foul - possession out of bounds). In his anger/frustration player A1 slams the ball to the ground and the referee calls a tech on player A1. The officials proceed to to give team B a 1 and 1 and technical foul free throws plus the ball at the division line after the 4 free throws (both ends of one and one made plus 1 of 2 tech FT's made).

My question is this:
Shouldn't Team B only have given the 2 FT's for the technical foul plus the ball? The referee ruled that the tech made team foul # 7 (which it does) thus the one and one plus the tech foul free throws. Foul # 6 was a spot throw-in foul correct? The technical was the only one warranting FT's.

Did the ref get the situation wrong? This gave Team B 2 extra points if incorrect (in an extremely close game) and changed the outcome down the stretch... Team A would have been in a tie game down the stretch rather than creating a procession to the foul line...

Please let me know what should have been done... Hope I explained it well enough...

Thanks for any and all comments and clarification. I am only trying to get better.

I am looking this up in my rule book now.
