The foul was on the tip, before the horn, even though my whistle came simultaneously or just after the horn. That's the correct call. And I received many compliments on having the willingness to make the call.
See it and call it. When the whistle sounds is of NO consequence.

All quite right. Which brings this to mind. There seems to be as much or more focus on the .2 which was put back on the clock as on the foul call. If the call had been (NFHS)
foul before the buzzer, free throws with the lane clear, would that have been somehow easier to accept than the fact that "All this happened at .2!!" I guess that the bottom line for one side is still "They made a call at the end and we lost," no matter what the call was.
