There is a long running example of this in previous case books from NFHS: "If the scorer signals the horn when the ball is live, the officials shall ignore the signal if a scoring play is in progress. Otherwise the officials may stop play to determine why the horn was sounded."
In your scenario, count the basket, then blow the whistle (because a scoring play was going on while the horn was originally sounded.
