On the surface my ruling if and when I ever WH would be, A retains the ball either at the spot of the loose ball where U verbally declared the "it's (play) done, it's over", or A can replay the down. Treating it similar to an IW.
If an official lost/broke his whistle during a play, a verbal communication should suffice in place of a whistle.
Rule 1.1.6 states... The referee has authority to rule promptly, and in teh spirit of good sportsmanship, on any situation not specifically covered in the rules. The referee's decisions are final in all matters pertaining to the game.
Sounds like a "catch-all" to me.
