If hold happens first: "I saw your held ball, but I saw my hold first."

Also, the whistle seldom causes the ball to become dead (Basketball Rules Fundamental #16) . The foul, or violation, causes the ball to become dead, so it's not the first whistle that determines the call, it's the first action that causes the ball to become dead. Some officials have a longer "lag time" between the action and the whistle than others.
