You would be wrong.

This play has come up before and by rule, if the whistle is during the shot you go to arrow.

Situation D clearly says that the whistle is blown AFTER the ball has gone in.

Do I like it? No.

Do I think common sense would be give the ball to B? Yes.

Unfortunately, that is not what the rules say.

Nope, you would be wrong, BZ.

Take a look at http://www.nfhs.org/ If you click on the basketball rules, click again on "2004/05 Basketball Rule Interpretations". This exact play is covered in there towards the bottom of the interpretations and B does get the ball for a throw-in. This play will be in this coming year's casebook- that's what the FED does with these posted interpretations on their website.

I'd post the exact link, but I got better things to do(in a hurry)- like go flip the steaks.
