My 2 cents:
Down here (in GA) they say often: "A late whistle is a great whistle."
One of the college assignors I work for NEVER and he means NEVER wants an "and 1". The only way you can avoid that is with a patient whistle.
The high school association I am a member of is loaded with college officials. Our assignor here is preaching the "patient whistle" to see if the shot goes in. After patient whistles, I have been asked if I was waiting to see if the shot was going to go. My answer "Of course."
I am no expert but in my neck of the woods, you seem to be doing it just as my assignors want it done.

I know a COLLEGE assignor that hates "and 1's" too. For the college game, maybe the players are strong enough and can handle contact enough for that to be appropriate.
At a high school game though, judging a shooting foul by whether or not the shot goes in as asking for trouble, IMHO. Your just setting kids (and I emphasize
kids ) up for frustration and possible problems if you are allowing significant contact to be ignored just because the ball goes through the basket.
