In my opinion, if it is the visiting team shooting, if he misses, he gets another try, if he makes it count. If it is the home team, no retry no matter what.
I think a FT, when all other action has stopped and one player is alone focusing on the shot, usually without alot of other noise, the "play on when the horn goes off" is overtaken by common sense. I don't think the horn would be as much of a distraction if he is dribbling or even shooting a jumper in the midst of the game.
