My solution to the situation last time, which nobody liked, was to rule that the whistle blew as soon as the ball was caught inbounds, take 0.3 seconds off the clock, and put the ball back in play at the nearest spot to where the ball was caught.
If it was clear that the ball was caught and some time ran off before the horn sounded, then I'd take off more than 0.3 seconds, using my best judgment.
And no, I do not have definite knowledge, but I'm not doing a do-over unless the horn sounded before the throw-in was released.
