Long time reader, first time Writer! I don't think it is possible to answer this question without seeing the play. Lots of variables for me to consider before making/passing on a call.
1. Did he have time to stop?
2. If he had left his feet prior to the whistle, was there any one under him?
3. Could he hear the whistle (Crowd Noise)
4. Was it a aggressive attempt to dunk (hang, swing on rim) or was it one where he just followed it and force the ball through rim (not much rim contact)?- We see many shots happen after the whistle in the form of lay-ups or jumpers- would this be any different.
5. Other Variables
I just think that there are so many things to consider in making this call that we don't have enough info to judge. I think you have to see it to know!
