I may get criticized with you, but if you feel the foul was legit I think you did the right thing. This has happened to me twice (not that little time, but under 5 seconds). Both cases, my partner had the last shot so I was focused on the action in my area. Both calls were things that had to be called, but I didn't realize time was so close when I blew the whistle (before anyone says anything...remember my partner and I had already communicated and he had the clock). When I replayed the events in my mind after the game with the benefit of hindsight and knowing the time left, I honestly felt they were both the right calls.
You didn't decide the game, the player that comitted the foul contributed, the player that made the shots contributed and everyone who missed and/or made shots during the game decided the outcome. Like you said, you don't blow the whistle and you "decide" against the other team. We don't commit the fouls...only call them.
