The intent is to make it as obvious as possible to the table and others that the goal did not count.

Yes that is the logic.

Years ago, my supervisor made that point. I said "FIBA is funny, they want the table officials to stop the game for timeouts after made baskets which is a huge responsibility yet they don't trust them to figure out if a basket counts or not".

With that rule, you give the player with the ball the opportunity to decide the thrown-in location simply by shooting (and making) or not shooting the ball after the whistle. That seems like something that shouldn't be intended by rule.

I would think that giving the ball back to the offensive team for a throw-in would be about all you need to know that the shot shouldn't count.

With FIBA's usual ambiguity on rules, they don't mention at which FTE the ball should be awarded.

They don't. It is typically the one closest to the infraction.. Or in the case of a (rare) free throw violation, the line opposite the table to prevent a switch being necessary.

So when does the rule application end?

What if upon being fouled (and the whistle blown), A1 passes to A2 who then dunks the ball. Does the rule still apply and throw in will be at FTE?

You can tell how long someone has been working FIBA games by whether or not they signal the points scored on every basket..

To be honest I had no idea what the intent of the rule was.. I've only been working FIBA since 09...and even back then it was a 60/40 nfhs /FIBA split... This year I'm probably 30+ games in.. All but 5 of them have been FIBA.
