If this is the case, then I think you can rule out a double foul.

Common foul on defender = 3 shots for shooter with lane cleared.
Technical foul on shooter (intentional after whistle) = 2 shots and ball for defense.

The whistle isn't relevant here. I can't imagine the try had ended.
Also, if it's all part of the same action, I'm going with a double foul. You may choose differently, but I don't think we can rule anything out.

You are right in the whistle not being too relevant, but the whistle combined with the shooter returning to the ground and then pulling the defender down, seems to me that the try has completed.
So, a foul after the try could be handled separately IMO.

without seeing the play, it is hard to say for sure, but as said above, not 100% clear to rule anything out.

Players were still falling, even if he had landed, it's still likely a live ball.
