Not necessarily. If the foul happened so near the end of time that the timer could not stop the clock before the horn sounded (and assuming that the horn did sound or would have sounded if it was turned on), and no official had knowledge of the time that was on the clock at the time of the foul (as in your case), then you were correct to have no one on the line.
(I recognize that some associations / states like / require the officials to put "some time" back on the clock if the foul happened before the horn.)
