Here's the citation Jqb12 requested:

6-7: The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when:
Art. 5 An official’s whistle is blown (see exception below).
Art. 7 A foul, other than player-control or team-control, occurs (see exception below).
Exception: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap for field goal ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when: Article 5, or 7 occurs while a try or tap for a field goal is in flight.
