The horn to end the period sounds before the ball enters and passes through the goal directly from B1’s pass and is not touched by B5.

In my opinion, the 2001-02 rule clarification suggests that one can count the (passed into the basket) basket after the horn sounds, count it as three points, and call goaltending if it occurs.

Just my personal opinion. My mind can be easily changed.
