Now my question would be, say we have one of those errant baseball passes to a post player who gets held by the defender and we put a whistle on it and the ball goes in the basket. How do we adjudicate the foul?

Same way you would any other situation where a shooter shoots, the ball goes in, and while it was airborne, there was a foul on another player.
