2 Free Throws for the second technical foul (the player twisted the player to the ground well after the whistle had been blowing).

Rio was to have been awarded two free throws for:
2 Free Throws for having FEWER bench personnel leave the bench area during the fight than Bella Vista had (1 coach vs. 7 players and 2 coaches). Per NFHS rules, no more than 2 FTs are awarded during such situations regardless of the number of bench personnel from each team -- 0 FTs if the number of bench personnel is the same.

Did you read this somewhere or was this your evaluation of the tape ?

I initially thought they should replay the final 12.3 seconds as well, however, isn't the ruling essentially using correctable error principles? Iow, there were unmerited FT's taken, so the unmerited FT's were taken off the board, and any time consumed, fouls, and other points scored stand. I don't know if the end of the game still fell into the correctable error time frame, but it seems to make sense, given we all know there are no do-overs under NFHS rules.
