No. I would think that you would know that if the shot is in the air when you blow the whistle, you do not cancel the basket.

You asked "Let's say I'm L and my T is inbounding. 3 seconds on the clock. I see the T chop, and I look and the clock doesn't start.....now what do I do?"

I answered, "You kill the play once you see the clock didn't start and start over."

Yes, I'm aware that a whistle doesn't cancel a shot attempt, but you said "kill the play." When you say "kill the play," to me that means kill the basket as well.

You kill the play when you see the clock did not start. Therefore, there is no shot, therefore no basket to worry about. Play was killed before any of that could transpire. That is what BktBallRef said.
