It is not a matter of if it is intentionally done IMO. I think the issue that it was done and you will have to decide if something should be done about it.
This happened in the Big East Tournament a few years ago where that controversial ending took place with clock and all 3 officials basically not working the rest of the tournament.
St. John's was playing Rutgers in Madison Square Garden in an early round game. Well a St. John's player was at the FT line with about 6 seconds on the clock to go in the game. Well the horn was blown during the routine of the FT shooter. About 3 players on the FT lane turned away and reacted to horn being blown. Fortunately the FT shooter made the FTs but I used this video as an example to show what you might do or if this was a time to stop the game and redo or let it play out.
I am sure I can find it on YouTube were I pulled the video from.
Horn sounding on FT
Look at about 1:50 on the video and you will see what I am talking about.
Peace
