We gave her a replacement shot. Explained things to home coach without objection. Game management took care of the fan.

Thoughts?

There is no rule allowing you to give a replacement free throw for this.
You should have penalized the home team with a technical foul for failure to control its spectators and allowing one of them to interfere with the game.
