Guys,
There are "exceptions" to every rule...you can think of some and I can think of some.
There have to be some fundamentally sound rules that we can rely on every time...and in my opinion, stopping a play on the whistle is one of them.
Mr. McCarthy,
Are you sure that what you described wouldn't be "unnecessary roughness" vice "late hit". Either way, it is a personal foul. So regardless of when the whistle sounds, it is a penalty and should be called. I don't have a rulebook handy so I am probably wrong on this one, which I am sure will be pointed out to me in a matter of seconds.
