In NF, without replay rules, I am betting that many would say they had whistle after horn and go to overtime.

I had a play once like this in a jr. high game. Team A ties the game with just a few seconds left. Team B pushes the ball up the court frantically hoping to get off a shot.
B1 catches a pass 25 feet from the basket and is flattened
by A1. There is a whistle and the clock stops on 0:00 and we hear just a hint of buzzer. B1 is given 2 free throws,
(2 to make 1) makes the first and the game is over. A's coach threw a screaming fit..........at A1: "WHY WERE YOU EVEN CLOSE TO HIM??!!"
