I'm not going to treat it like a delayed violation, no horizontal fist, no player violated, no distraction from the bench.

However, if I believe that the shooter was distracted by the horn and he misses, I would consider giving him another shot.

But in the original post, I'm not led to believe that the shooter was distracted.

And if he looks distracted pre-shot, I'm following chapmaja's sage advice.
