One other thing to note...Nowhere in the story or any of the posts does it say that the clock started or the final horn sounded or anything like that.
I think it has to be pretty much assumed as such if the official signalled the basket as good, and then all the officials started to run off the floor.
In the story, the official says he crossed half court to inform the coach that something was wrong and they were gonna fix it. I'm not going back to read it again, but I seem to recall him even say something to the effect of "No one was leaving the floor."

And what Chuck said above is exactly what I was thinking as I read your reply. You don't have to have a whistle for the ball to become dead. The shot was missed, the ball was dead, whistle or no whistle.
