I would say even before the ball becomes live, if you wait even so long as to after the ball goes through the hoop, you're probably too late, simply because of the problems a late whistle in this scenario would cause. Similar to if you were to wait on a last second, half court shot that was NOT released before the horn, if you wait until it goes in to make the call, you're going to be causing yourself problems. Either get it right away, or they got away with one
