Not true. If no one blew a whistle until after the fumble was recovered, the "IW" would have occurred AFTER the recovery and technically the options would be given to the recovering team.

I ask this out of pure curiosity, because I have no clue on these matters...if a replay shows that the play should have remained 'alive' (such as a whistle blows to indicate an incomplete pass, when in reality the pass was caught), is that whistle an IW? Thanks in advance for the replies.

If the replay shows an INT, then fumble and whistle, then it is an IW and the intercepting team would retain the right to the ball at the location of the ball at the time of the IW. The IW whistle is handled differently in the NFL, than NCAA or NF.
