Schmitty missed a very important tenant of football. It is all the players responsibility to know when the play is over and stop their action. If a runner is down and the official holds his whistle to insure no fumble, the defense has to avoid any late hits. The action of the play ends the play, not the officials whistle (unless inadvertant during a live ball.)
