For some reason, I can't hear the sound. If the whistle blew when the player had the ball, you give the offense the ball for a throw in at the spot nearest where he touched the ball.
If the whistle blew while the ball was in the air for the last shot, you count the basket. All of this is assuming you want to go back and reverse the call.
I think it's probably the right call, by rule. I'm not sure I'd make it, though, as I'm more likely to have judged it a shot.
