Sadly not correct. The foul occurred before the expiration of time; the timing of the whistle is irrelevant.

And first off, the clocking showing zero does not end the period. NFHS 5-6-2: "Art. 2... Each quarter or extra period ends when the signal sounds indicating time has expired."

But, more important is this note attached to that rule: "3. 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. No penalty or part of a penalty carries over from one quarter or extra period to the next. No free throw(s) shall be attempted after time has expired for the fourth quarter or any extra period, unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game."
