If he had passed after the whistle was blown, I'd be more inclined to think he was trying to pass the whole time. I'm picturing a play where the player gets hit, the ref holds the whistle for just a second to see the whole play, the player decides in mid-air that he won't get a decent shot and passes to a teammate, the ref calls the foul.
