You'll have to excuse me, I had a game tonight. I really do officitate actual games instead of just answering questions on the forum.
Rather scary thought, huh?
Anyway BoomerSooner provided the best answer to your original question. The ball is live during the try and
ANY foul during this time, even one not by or on an airborne shooter, should be penalized.
In order to conclusively prove what others have said, I'll point you to 5-6-2 Exception 3 in the rule book:
"If a foul occurs so near the expiration of time that the timer cannot get the clock stopped before time expires or after time expires, but while the ball is in flight during a try or tap for field goal. The quarter or extra period ends when the free throw(s) and all related activity have been completed...."
What your fellow official was talking about is the new rule change that lag time has been eliminated. Therefore, you are allowed to put the exact time back on the clock, when the whistle sounded for the foul, if warranted and if you have definite knowledge. However, this does NOT mean that at least 0.1 MUST be on the clock whenever a foul occurs, as that official stated. We have shown that is untrue.
Note that in NFHS, the correct time to put back on the clock is when the whistle is sounded because that is the signal that the timer uses to stop the clock. However, in an NCAA game, if the officials used the courtside monitor, the correct time to put back would be when the actual contact occurred. In this situation, it does not matter, under NCAA rules, when the whistle was blown.
