Say on a situation like that, say there is a whistle for the block. Is the play dead right then? I'm assuming so but what if the teammate had caught the ball and was in the act of shooting/dunking at the same time as the whistle?
I think I recall an NBA play like this when the bucket counted and there was the foul off as well. NCAA and NFHS different?

See now this is a fair discussion. This is a rules and officiating question.
I did not see the play, but based on your hypothetical description, the ball would have been dead when the common foul occurred. Even if the whistle came late, the whistle merely marks the act that precipitated it. This is one of the rules fundamentals: “An official’s whistle rarely causes the ball to become dead (it is already dead).”
