Viewing this in the context of the conversation, if the try had dipped below the level of the ring, then the try ends when it hits Yao's head. With the try ended, the ball is dead when time expires. Doesn't matter if time expires before or after it hits his head.

If the ball still had a chance to go into the basket and hit his head, the try has not ended and the expiration of time does not make the ball dead. If the shot goes, it's good.
