I learned coach told them to intentionally foul (which is a seperate sportsmanship topic). Was this handled correctly?

From the description a flagrant intentional foul with ejection is warranted which covers the sportsmanship issue even if you find out about it after the fact.

Is the foul called at the same time the horn goes off or is there still time on the clock? If there is time on the clock, let them shoot all 3 foul shots and inbound the ball.

There is no such animal as a flagrant intentional foul. Fouls are only intentional or flagrant.

And if a coach directs his players to give a take foul, I have no issues with it provided they do so correctly (play on the ball, no excessive contact, isn't away from the ball, etc.) just like I wouldn't for a team fouling at the end to try and come back.

I'd be very aware of the clock here, and do everything I could to see time on the clock so that kid gets every one of his FTs and the team has a chance to at least try for a tap/try.
