NFHS rule - go by when the horn sounds.
NCAA rule - go by the display of :00.0 on the clock.
NBA rule - ?

Case book play 5.6CommentA--"The expiration of time for a quarter or extra period does not always cause the ball to become dead nor end the quarter or extra period........If there is a foul after time expires and before the ball becomes dead, the quarter or extra period ends after the resulting free throw(s)."

The correct call is 3 FT's for the shooter with no one lined up,

You are right. This is why I was not completely sure. Thanks for the clarification. I should have known that.

When people ask my wife how she has put up with me after all these years, she usually replies that she tries to keep herself heavily sedated.

Sometimes she can't answer because she's too heavily sedated.
