Foul called after shot. . .

A23 (my team) puts up a floating three pointer. Whistle blown late, Lead calls push on A31 'after the shot'. He calls the basket good, and gives B the ball OOB.

Once the ball is in the air, only a player control foul can kill it (in terms of fouls). So if the foul occurred before the ball was through the hoop, the referee was correct. If the contact was after the ball was through, but before the ball was at the disposal of the thrower, then you have a dead ball.
