Good point! my point is it's a hard call to explain to a coach if you are waving off the basket but still giving 2 shots for the foul, though if the shot is still in the hand when the clock reads 0.00 then that is the correct call.

Going to my earlier point though -- how can the clock expire if you blow your whistle before the clock expires? Sure the horn can sound but if you or your partners have knowledge of the clock, there has got to be some time left. Even if its .3 seconds.
