Use common sense and avoid Munich 72. If you believed the offensive team could of gotten the loose ball and put up a shot in 1.3 then put .9 on the clock and go to the arrow. Please do not do a do over as this is totally unfair to the defensive team.

I too would NOT penalize the defense.
I think we "know" that the clock and horn were linked at 0.9, then you give the stop signal, one second lag comes into play, so the game is over.
BTW, ideally in this situation with so little time left, you would have counted down the last second(s) in your head or with your arm, and then called the game (no whistle until you called the game).
