You would be wrong.
This play has come up before and by rule, if the whistle is during the shot you go to arrow.
Situation D clearly says that the whistle is blown AFTER the ball has gone in.
Do I like it? No.
Do I think common sense would be give the ball to B? Yes.
Unfortunately, that is not what the rules say.

Nope, you would be wrong, BZ.
Take a look at http://www.nfhs.org/ If you click on the basketball rules, click again on "2004/05 Basketball Rule Interpretations". This exact play is covered in there towards the bottom of the interpretations and B does get the ball for a throw-in. This play will be in this coming year's casebook- that's what the FED does with these posted interpretations on their website.
I'd post the exact link, but I got better things to do(in a hurry)- like go flip the steaks.

Great, I'm glad they'll be fixing it.
Too bad this interpretation completely contradicts what was in the 2004-2005 case book for the same play.

The assumption in the case book in the past was that the ball was becoming dead with neither team in control and in absence of a goal. Poorly (or incompletely) worded, I'd agree. Contradictory, no.
