That's all that I wanted to know, thanks.

Actually, if an official decides that the play is a foul, then then the foul happens when it occurs, not when the official blew the whistle. Rule fundamental - the official's whistle seldom causes the ball to become dead, it is already dead. If, in the official's judegment, no foul occured, then there is no foul to go back and correct, right?
