And ends when the last qtr is over. If the T occured after the buzzer sounded, the ref can't call it. How ever, he shall note it on the back of the score sheet (see 46.10).
You can't shoot the FT's to decide if the score's going to be tied or not. How ever, if the score was tied, you start OT with the FT's.

In NF, the referee's authority does not end until the final score has been approved and the referees leave the court. Anything before that happens can affect the game.
