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?

It is irrelevant. He could take 20 seconds to release the shot (if he could maintain continuous motion that long). If the foul occurs at 0.4, the clock should stop at 0.4. Once the clock is stopped (or should have stopped), the amount of time it takes to complete the try is not an issue.
