I must disagree here.
In the case you reference, the player had released the ball before the horn, so the ball actually remains live after the horn until the try ends. Also, fouls involving an airborne shooter apply until the shooter lands. So, any foul on the airborne shooter is penalized.
However, in the case at hand, an airborne shooter is a player who has released a try. While a try had started, it ended when the ball be came dead by the exipration of time with the ball still in the shooters hands. The player never becomes an airborne shooter. Any foul after the horn, is just that, a foul after the horn...to be ignored unless intentional or flagrant.

Camron's post above about the 2nd situation made me think about exactly what the definition of an Airborne shooter is, so I went and looked in my rule book and section 4-1-1,2 are the defintions of an airborne shooter.
4-1-1... An airborne shooter is a player who has
RELEASED the ball on a try for a goal or has tapped the ball and has not returned to the floor.
4-1-2... the airborne shooter is considered in the act of shooting.
Using my argument that I posted earlier, I was wrong because this isn't considered an airborne shooter so the period would end at the horn, unless we have something flagrant. This is assuming that the foul would have taken place after the release of the ball. Now if the foul occurred before the release and before the horn then we should have waved off the basket and shot 2. If the foul occurred after the horn but before the release we would again ignore it unless it is flagrant.
Thanks for your help Camron.
Let me know what you guys think based on the definitions that I gave.
