I don't see this as being different as on any f. throw, once the ball is at the disposal of a f. thrower any official's whistle will kill that play if it comes before the release.
That did not happen in than the Fed interp or the NCAA interp. in which neither of the officials caught the R not ready. They made the ball live and shots were taken.
but, please re-read this play because it clearly has the C killing this play BEFORE the shot.

The player was in the act of shooting, the play says just prior to releasing the ball.
There has to be something to make the ball go dead (not just the officials whistle) even we have to have a reason to blow a live ball dead.
Is the player gaining an advantage by counting the bucket?
It could go both ways; some will say "you awarded the bucket", thus giving the advantage to the offensive player, others will say that the offensive player had to make a shot with a whistle in his/her ear thus giving the initial advantage to the defense.
