So....how can you be so sure the ball actually would be in the air if the timer stopped the clock immediately on your whistle?

If I blow my whistle at .1 second, the clock should stop on the whistle; not immediately after. If I'm looking at the clock as the whistle sounds, I put what was there when the whistle sounded, not immediately after. There is no longer lag time.
Therefore, if my whistle blows before the horn; I've got definite knowledge that time should not have expired before the shot was released.
