I had a game this w/e. A foul is committed and the table said we were not in the bonus. We put the ball in play. No sooner does the ball get in-bounded does the table admit fault and say it is the 7th foul. The ball is live and my original thought was to blow the whistle, stop play and award the free throws. But I waited until the first dead ball.
If you blow the whistle, you're now at the first dead ball.

Blow the whistle.
