If the ball is not released when the horn sounds, the ball becomes dead at the horn, the foul doesn't count and the game is over. If the ball IS released when the horn sounds, the ball remains live until the shot is made, or will clearly not make it. If you can't tell whether the horn or the release came first, you've got to call it one way or the other, and then go with it. And when the game IS over, you and your partner get the heck out of Dodge City.
