The ball becomes dead on the foul, so the basket will not count unless the ball goes through the rim before the foul is committed (not before the whistle.) Furthermore, it's a common foul and free throws will only be shot if the offended team is in the bonus.

I had this one with a minute left in OT between two rivals last Friday night. Red team center gets the ball in his lane area and turns to shoot a jumper. White team center is right there to block the shot, so Red center throws ball to the floor while airborne to start a dribble. I tweet the travel, and we go the other way. The call as you may imagine was not well received by the Red bench or crowd. It is the first time I have ever had this play in a game. I explained the rule to Red coach during the next time out and I think he trusts me enough to know it was the right call. It was a good feeling to know that a unique situation happened and we got it right.
