Is in "shooting motion."
Overzealous fan with whistle now goes "tweet."(we've all heard of a late whistle haven't we?)
Are you going to wave it off?
(I'm being hypothetical, so humor me,  but for arguments sake.)

I just want to point out the fact that, at least in NF rules (6-7-5), the ball becomes dead when an official's whistle is blown. In the case where the defense stops and the dribbler blows by for an easy layup, I'm going to blow the play dead. If however, the dribbler already has the easy shot and is about to shoot, I'm holding my whistle until the shot is released (or maybe until someone grabs the rebound - not sure on this one). Either way, the fan is getting ejected.
