Personally they messed it up all the way around.

1) these guys should have known what the clock was. Depending on thier pregame some one should have had the shot. (In my games, I generally still have trail taking the final shot. ) Someone should have had the clock and the buzzer and should have figured it out long before it go that far.

To shoot foul shots and then take them away is crazy in my mind and I cannot think of the rule that would support this at all.

The problem is that they did not know what the time was. They have to have definite knowledge. The auto horn was off or broke. How did they know the foul happened after the 0:00 mark and no horn? They called it. They shot 'em. Score it. They should have had the timer make sure the auto horn was on, then when the switch is thrown the horn goes off. How much time was left on the clock? Noone knows. They should have turned it on and then killed play and lived with one mistake but not turning the mistake ito a bigger mess by doing things not remotely in the rules.
