Theoretically, the two events happen at the same time. But the fact is that the count should start when the ball becomes live, not that the start of the count
makes the ball live. So, in this case, if the C makes the foul call, and is aware, which he should be, that the ball was indeed available, he can call a personal foul whether the T is counting or not.
