It is the player's responsibility to know the play is dead irregardless of the whistle being blown. And I learned a very long time ago that you do not need to blow a whistle if you do not see leather. And that applies if the play is right in front of you which is not uncommon. If you have to throw a flag because of a late hit and the whistle is not blown, so be it.
Peace
