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.

This was that infamous game with Burr and higgins - with the uncalled travel/OOB with time left on the clock at the end of the game...not to mention some controversial calls/no-calls in the last couple minutes.
OT - It's easy to say on paper that we shouldn't award a replacement, or if we do it for one team we do it for the other.l
In the real world, the visiting team in a close game with a shooter at the line who gets "buzzed" in the middle of their FT...just looks bad. I have no problem giving a replacement in the right circumstances.....

....and this is why.
BTW - that was absolutely a bloody FOUL at the end of that Rut/SJ game...right Rut?
