For a little flavor to this thread. Without checking the rule book, I say you can win with everyone fouled out.
Right or wrong?

Wrong, because as soon as your last player fouls out (or is injured), your team forfeits, even with a 50 point lead with 0.3 seconds left.

Foul #5 is called on the last player for Home team who is ahead before time expires, but clock not stopped until after horn sounds. Foul #5 occurrs at 00:01.0. Official blows whistle, horn sounds, 00:00.0, Game over.

Player hasn't fouled out until he has been told of such after the foul has been reported. Unless you plan to report that foul, I believe the team ended the game with 1 player, not zero. Keep trying.

OK, I report it. Tell player and coach. Game over, everyone on Home team fouled out. Home team wins.
(Edited in later)
You should report it if in-fact the Home forfeits due to everyone fouling out.
See my later post that includes the possibility of the visitors tieing the game with the freethrows.
