Sitch 2: Foul is after horn goes off, but before ball is dead, and 3rd ends. Report foul, A's ball to begin 4th.

Am I reading this right? There's really no difference in handling this in reference to whether the foul was before or after the horn? I do realize that it would make a difference if it were the end of the 2nd, 4th, or any OT period; but, at the end of the 1st and 3rd it really doesn't make a difference?

The book states that the timer is granted roughly one second of reflex time, so you can't put time on the clock if the foul and the horn was that close, at least I wouldn't think......
Yes - the only exception would be a shooting foul. In that case, you would shoot 2 FT's, then start the 60 seconds, then go by the AP arrow.

Also, end of 2nd is treated the same as the end of the 1st and 3rd. (Except that the intermission is ten times as long).
