I know I kicked it.....

Not necessarily. I can see both sides of this. If everybody, including the shooter, had stopped, then I'm fine with the way it was handled. Then you can say the shooter was just hacking around when everybody knew the play was over.

But it sounds like the shooter continued with his scoring play and was not stopped by the officials. In that case, I would probably be in favor of handling by the book. No whistle, no stoppage, count the bucket. Doing it that way is easily defendable.

Seems like a "had to see it" situation. I would have to see the players' reaction to the horn.
