I was also confused because at first, the non-calling ref told her she had two shots when she asked if she was shooting.

If that were to happen in my game, I would try to determine when the foul occurred (before or after the deflection). If it was before, I would cancel the basket (not a try for goal) and the foul caused the ball to become dead once it hit her. If it were after, I would count the basket and treat the foul as a common foul, giving the ball back to the offended team at the closest spot.

Interested to see what others say...

Good thing you were not working the game last night, because you don't know the rules about how and when the ball becomes dead.
