Correct call?

I was visiting in another state Saturday and wound up timing a JV game.
The trail official threw a flag on a defender for slashing, "flag down," but the kid kept swinging and the official threw a second flag. He then called "slashing, one minute," on the player, and then a second "slashing, one minute," on the same player. The man up team scored during the first minute, so I asked about release and the official then said the first minute was not releasable, but the second minute was. Is that correct?

NCAA 7-2e: "If a penalty is called on a player and the same player incurs other penalties before his release occurs under Rule 7-2-b, the player penalized is not compelled to remain in the special-substitution area for consecutive penalty time if his release occurs under Rule 7-2-b. However, if one of the penalties is designated nonreleasable, the nonreleasable time shall be served first and the releasable time next."

NFHS 7-2e has different wording but same effect.

If one of the slashing fouls was non-releasable, then the procedure was done correctly. If both were signaled in as regular releasable PFs, then the player should have been released. It's possible the ref meant for one of the fouls to be NR but didn't relay it to the table clearly.

It is unclear whether you can designate a garden-variety personal foul as NR, so the safe thing to do is to call it USC if warranted to make it NR. But generally if someone has two slashes on the same play they end up both being releasable by one goal.
