This was told to me from an official who's partner was on the game. Crew called State office and were told they handled it correctly.

I'm sorry, I thought you were asking about the handling of the free throws.

The one thing I've found that comes close to addressing it is this and it is not exactly the same:

5.6.2 SITUATION G:

The score is tied when A1 is fouled in the act of shooting and the try is unsuccessful. Playing time for the fourth quarter expires while the ball is in flight. No players are allowed along the lane. A1's first free-throw attempt is *successful. Immediately following the made free throw the occupants of the Team A bench rush onto the court and a mini celebration takes place.

RULING: The *second free throw is not required. No penalty unless the celebration or any act is unsporting and a foul is charged to Team A before the final score has been approved. (5-6-2 Exception 3)

I'd apply the same standard here.
