The situation is a played takes a shot as time is expiring, the shot is partially after the shot leaves the shooters hand, and then the ball goes in the baskets after time does expire. What is the call (at least at that time, about 14 years ago? Basket is no good because a shot attempt is over when the ball is touched by an opposing player. Is it legal to goal tend a buzzer-beater shot? I mean if the game is over, you can't be called for goal-tending then?

Goal tending on a buzzer beater would not be legal because it would have still been a legal shot attempt.
