If there isn't a whistle, then what rule makes the ball dead?
You may not like it, but as an official you have to follow the rules.

Ok, but that's not even close to what you originally wrote.

In a), and b), in the case play above, doesn't the ball become dead when all the other players remain motionless in anticipation of another throw, which may precede the sounding of the whistle by a second, or a fraction of a second?

Isn't this the case in most cases of a whistle being sounded, that is, the ball is already dead when the whistle sounds (foul, or violation)?

Doesn't Basketball Rule Fundamental #16 apply here (The official’s whistle seldom causes the ball to become dead (it is already dead))?
