If the whistle blows, the ball is dead unless it is in the air for a shot. The play that happened in the playoffs was the NC vs NC-Charlette game and I did get a chance to talk to one of the officials who called that game. What happened was he blew the whistle for a foul but be believed the shot was unmakeable so instead of deciding the game at the free throw line, he chose to call an inadvertant whistle and therefore a miracle last second shot at the other end or overtime would decide the game. Of course the miracle shot did not happen so they played O.T.
