The foul by the defense may be personal or technical and the exception to the rule applies to field goal tries and taps and free-throw tries. (4-11; 4-41-1)

The only way this makes sense with the removal of lag time is if you have the following order of events:
A1 begins habitual motion for shot.
Foul by B1.
Buzzer.
Whistle and shot released in either order.
If the whistle comes before the buzzer, then time has not expired before the release.
If the whistle comes after the buzzer, then cancel the basket and shoot two (or three) free throws.
I came very close to seeing this in a ms game a week ago. The shot was released before the horn, though; but not by much. It went in.
