Reading the article and watching the video with sound, you can definitely hear the buzzer go off. Looks like the clock didn't stop. So the Big Sky can at least pretend that the ruling was correct in that the transfer student didn't really interfere with play and that the reason play was stopped was for a monitor review.

But sheesh, that guy was almost at the semi-circle before he dove back to the bench. Hard to say that didn't interfere with play.

I hope that the conference releases a statement on this.
The whistle comes BEFORE the buzzer and certainly after this young man has run out onto the court.
After watching the video, I believe that a technical foul was fully warranted.
The behavior of both coaches afterward was childish and embarrassing.
