Typically you would begin the OT with any T that's whistled after the buzzer - but would these be part of the 4th since the quarter really won't end until the FT's are over? (Did I just answer my own question?)
If you did, you mighta answered it wrong. The FT's for the foul called at the buzzer and the FT's for the coach's "T" will all be shot as part of the fourth quarter. Of course there are two riders attached to that statement---(1) the technical called on the coach must be called before the FT's for the personal foul are over, and (2) the outcome of the game depends on the result of some or all of the FT's.

Btw, if there is 0:00 on the clock and the horn hasn't gone, the period isn't over. The clock will need to be started a tick to finish the quarter. Gonna need another play to start the clock somewhere...throw-in, missed FT..
