NCAA: the ball remains LIVE on a try. No one I know of blows the whistle as soon as it is kicked. They'll not be working too many additional games if they did.
NF: call it an IW it you like, you'd be right if this were a test question. We prefer to call it a DW for deliberate whistle. While the whistle is not blown as soon as the foot contacts the ball, it is blown as soon as the ball has crossed the NZ. We're only talking mircoseconds here, but that's what we do.
When and if NF ever decides the TRY remains live then we'll stop this practice/mechanic. Otherwise it does no harm at all.
