The only situation that can hurt you is if the offensive player catches it and the horn sounds before he releases the ball and it goes in.
Exactly! This is the scenario that is most likely to happen. You're going to get into a helluva a lot more trouble if this happens and you have to give the offense another shot at it.

Stop the clock and you're back up by the rules. It's the only right thing to do. Letting the play run because of what might happen is playing with fire. Correct the mistake and don't play the "what if" game.
