This is one situation in which I think Rule 2-3 really does come into play. The shot clock is clearly NOT covered by the FED rules. Therefore, the referee should make a ruling. In my opinion, if you're sure the whistle blew before the horn, then the best solution is to use the NCAA rule (since the shot clock is governed by NCAA rules) and put the time back on the shot clock.
