What I meant was that is a very strict interpretation of some rule.
Fed rules are the game is over after the horn sounds, all related activity has concluded (this would include free throws on a last second shot), and the officials verify the score. (This is my version, I don't have the rule book here to give you chapter and verse).
Now, if the horn sounds, I get the thumbs up from the book and I head off the floor, are you telling me the game is not over because I didn't blow my whistle? Yes, until I leave the visial confines of the gym I stil have the authority to issue a T, but the game is still over.
In your example if there was contact at the horn and I think it was NOT enough to be a foul, I sure as heck am NOT going to blow my whistle. This is so that no one is confused into thinking I have a foul.
