To me, there is 2 options that an official can do it this situation.
1. Count the foul, and put time back on the clock (even if its just .2) before administering the free throws.
2 Say foul was after the horn and move on with the game, or post game handshakes.

Your thoughts....
A shooter is an airborne shooter and can be fouled until they land. They only need to release the shot before time expires. So, it is quite easy for a shooter to release the shot, have time expire, and then get fouled before landing.
